a. What were our strongest differences? What were our significant similarities?

The most significant gap between our ideologies and opinions about how parents
should discipline their children is in several respects. We had opposing viewpoints on how the
parental system should discipline their child. Whereas, in my case, I was able to recognize and
understand that having liberal parents in terms of discipline can aid their child in digesting facts
about right and wrong. This can depict a loving and tranquil period in the relationship between
parents and children, and it can also establish an open connection in any circumstances. While
she argued that having strict parents provides their children the best chance to become
intelligent in making decisions. As a demanding parent, it consists of authoritarian and
controlling behaviors. This lowers one's self-esteem and confidence, and can occasionally lead
to a secret being kept about one's relationships. However, one of the most striking parallels we
had in dealing with different aspects of parental punishment was the desire to mold our
children into good citizens. This aims to improve their child's critical and analytical skills, as no
parent wants to put their child in a dangerous scenario.
b. What were our struggles/difficulties as we engage in dialogue with an “other”? Were
there any good or pleasant aspects as well?
The disparity and divide in thoughts and perceptions about how parents should punish
their children is seen in the explanations. My position was that a liberal approach to child
rearing and discipline was preferable since it is a good method to motivate them to avoid
making the same mistakes they did. They can experience love and a sense of motivation during
a peaceful conversation with their parent. Due to some personal reasons, she is in favor of
rigorous discipline. One thing she was able to say was that it allows the child to make difficult
decisions once they have the ability to think about their own actions. The good news is that we
both had the same aim in mind when we chose those opposing sides. To ensure that children's
physical and mental health are maintained while they are still young.
c. What things learned in class was I able to validate/apply?
There are various perspectives on how a parenting style might raise a child. It could be
in the shape of a strict or lenient attitude. Furthermore, whenever the youngster is old enough,
those kinds of disciplines will be able to assist them. Those children will reflect on their
childhood experiences and say that their parents did an excellent job of teaching them.
d. What did I learn from our dialogue that I can practice in dealing with “others” in the
future?
I've learned through conversing with others that parenting can take many different
forms. One of the aspects that can explain their parenting in the present moment is their
perception and adventure. Different views and ways of thinking are fine as long as they all work
toward the same goal in their family. It is here that unity and love can emerge and unite after
they have a better understanding of each other's origins.
