Before we look at different parenting styles and some of the differences, it is important to understand that no matter how much you agree or disagree with the way the host parents raise their kids, it is not up to you to decide what is right or wrong for the children. The host parents decide and you follow their wishes and instructions. Be open to new ways of raising children, new behavior management techniques and parenting styles. And who knows, maybe you even like those better than you initially think.
