[quote=Anonymous]I’ll add that there are some non-material/non-purchasable things that go into it to: Parents talk to their kids a LOT. About current events, about school, etc. Parents are authoritative: they have clear expectations for their children and there is a clear hierarchy in the home, but they don’t have the “rule with an iron fist/RESPECT ME OR ELSE” style as is more common in LMC/working class homes. When the children fail to meet the expectations, discipline is age-appropriate and designed to teach, not to control or done in a fit of anger. Parents encourage their kids to question things and be confident in who they are [/quote]
