Third Response:
I believe that your post provides a very good summary of the four major parenting styles that we're discussing....

Human Services According to Unit 6's analysis entitled "A Blended Approach," an example of a top-down approach within an organization might be that of managers offering tuition reimbursement to workers who were studying for advanced degrees in a relevant field. Top-down approaches begin in the leadership of the company, and the spirit and practical implications trickle down to the lower levels of the organization. A bottom-up approach begins at the lower
Wellington that any criticism is only meant to help (Stuhlmiller et al. 2003). A mention of what appears to be Ms. Wellington's avoidance of difficult issues, from her increased focus on children to her incomplete paperwork, is also in order to effect a behavioral change.
