I have a positive style, complications can arise with my child when it comes to trust and respect. Trust and respect could be an issue if I were to have a child and it's even an issue sometimes when raising my younger brother. Since I was raised to value respect, I sometimes tend to become hypersensitive when I sense there is a lack of respect between my younger brother. Many believed that a child's parenting style would be the same as that of their parents. However, this is not always the case through knowledge, awareness and correction. My parenting styles would be similar to my parents' if I wasn't aware of and changed my unhealthy behaviors. Behaviors such as being overly controlling, insensitive, and overly strict. I faced many mental issues that disrupted my learning, my self-esteem, and my ability to communicate effectively. Since I understood the physical and mental pain I was facing, I could no longer bear the thought of my younger brother and future children going through what I had to go through. I make sure to allow my brother to handle situations his way, even if I don't agree. I give the reasons, without recourse to abuse, why I am not satisfied with the behavior he exhibits, if there are any. Most importantly, respond to him with as much love, support and affection as I can muster each day. Thus, my current parenting style, shaped by my childhood, would improve thanks to
