Age Of Opportunity Steinberg Summary

I have always believed that children and adolescents are a mirror of who their parents are. When in school or in another public setting, adolescents represent their families. In Chapter of 7 of Steinberg’s book, Age of Opportunity, it explained that when good parenting is done and discipline has been given, adolescents naturally behave well. The way a child is parented plays a crucial role in how the child develops. According to psychologist, Steinberg says that when kids are good at self-regulation, parents have demonstrated warm, firm and supportive qualities. It is not wrong to be overly affectionate with children. When children feel that their genuinely loved, they tend to be less needy. Being physically affectionate is also very important.
