My best friend Makayla is the oldest of three children. She was the first, the one who made her mother a mother. When he cried, mom would be there. When friends walked away or hurtful words were spoken, Mom was there to discuss every aspect of the problem. So in terms of responsiveness, his mother was at the top. However, this wasn't always what Makayla would have wanted. When she was in pain, Makayla's mom would come and try to help her, talk about it and maybe go shopping to make everything feel better, when really all Makayla wanted to do was be alone for a while. She was always allowed to express her opinion, but when she confronted her mother and asked to be left alone, she took it as a personal insult. She couldn't understand why Makayla didn't want to talk to her, why her efforts to make things better weren't meeting her needs. So in terms of heat, there seemed to be a lack. Although she was always ready to intervene, her presence shone less. However, with this information about Makayla's mother's parenting style, it appears to be slightly more authoritarian. There are always times when she is there to offer help, but she is not open to working things out differently than what is natural for her and many times hurtful things are said for no reason. When Makayla is angry about something She is relatively responsive when Makayla needs something, but selectively. Her responses seemed to be erratic depending on what Makayla was upset about and how her mother felt about it. His behavior expectations were relatively normal, his mother demanded respect and established reasonable rules and punishments for those who did not follow those rules. Although Makayla was not always greeted with warmth whenever she was angry, and the way Makayla's family communicates is not always usual, they are loud and prefer to verbally express all their thoughts and feelings and it works for
