What's your EDU-Parent style? Here is mine...
You're a Mentor!
You guide by asking questions.
You are focused on preparing your children for life-long learning. When talking with your children, you listen and guide with questions, often providing choices and decision-making opportunities. While strategies and boundaries you establish might be invisible to the casual observer, they ground your parenting style. By modeling independent thinking and problem solving, you hope your children become independent learners and thinkers in their own right.
Your challenges are:
* To listen to what your children are saying, rather than listening for what you want to hear.
* And to respect your children's independent thoughts and ask the next question—even when you disagree.

This was an interest quiz! I'm an Observer - allow children to learn from experience. Well this is somewhat true as every time I try and explain something my kids they think "yeah right like mum knows", but in the end they actually find out for themselves about right and wrong.
