A)Parental styles are best assessed while the family explains how it handles situations that require limit setting. A less complete picture of parenting style is obtained during a brief artificial observation. Asking the child which rule is hardest for him or her to follow will not give the nurse insight into parenting styles. Learning about rules is less helpful than is an explanation of enforcement efforts and success.
