If you are a Nuffnanger and have some ads running in your blog, then you might want to check it now to see the current ad. Actually is is one run by Top Moms and along with it is a survey to define what kind of a Top Mom you are. I took the challenge and after answering seven (7) questions here is the result :
You are a Discerning Top Mom!
The definition (from the site):
You are a nurturing mom who supports her kids wholeheartedly. You respond to their needs by providing practical solutions. In your household, you encourage your kids to be helpful and have self-confidence. And you believe in open communication between you and your kids.
When it comes to discipline, you tend to explain to your kids the reason for reprimanding them so they can better understand the consequences of their actions. Your forgiving nature often leads to chastisement instead of harsh punishment.
The quiz was actually patterned after Diana Baumrind’s studies, an American psychologist who identified three parenting styles namely : Authoritarian Parenting, Authoritative Parenting and Permissive Parenting. She used naturalistic observation, parental interviews and other research methods for style identification.
