Learning about parenting – Essaylink

One of the best practices for learning about parenting is talking with current parents about
their experiences, struggles, and rewarding moments. In this assignment, you are
required to conduct an interview with a current parent. The parent chosen for the
interview can be your own parent, your relative, your friend’s parent, or a parent that you
know and respect. The chosen parent MUST have at least 5 years experience as a
parent. Prior to conducting the interview, you must get a signed consent from the parent
to turn into the instructor on D2L by Friday 10/23rd 2020. (Consent form can be
downloaded
from this assignment folder on D2L). Once you have completed the interview, you will
develop a thoughtful and thorough write–‐up of the parent’s interview responses
and your reflections in a 3-5-page paper.
The interview of a parent paper must meet the following format to receive full credit:
• 3-5 pages (Page length begins at the start of your first paragraph, not
your name or title. This means the paper should be AT LEAST 3 full
pages)
• Double‐spaced, 12-point font, Times New Roman, 1-inch margins, APA
format (for HDFS, psych, education, and social science majors).
• Other formats e.g. MLA, Chocago are acceptable but APA is the primary
format for assignments in this course.
• Guidelines for how to format/write in APA format are on D2L.
You are required to ask the questions below during the interview with the parent. You
can and may ask more questions if you like but the list below must be covered first.
