For this assignment, you will be finding parenting advice and evaluating it based on academic research.
Format: Please write this in full sentences, 12 point font, double spaced, and using in-text citations.
- Find advice about parenting. This could be from websites, social media, your family members/ friends, or anywhere else you find advice!
- Describe at least one piece of advice that this source states.
- What is your opinion about the advice? Do you believe it? Why or why not?
- Evaluate this piece of advice using academic research articles, or information from government agencies. This may include how accurate it is (ex. I heard this, but research actually says that), whether this is just one side of the debate (ex. It is debated whether X is good or bad), or whether there is enough evidence to look at it (ex. Only one research study with 10 people was done on this). This should be a thorough evaluation. If you state the advice is incorrect, then state why it is incorrect and what evidence you are using.
