Subject field(s)
  • Sociology of the Family

Authoritative parenting is often considered the ideal style for its combination of warmth and flexibility while still making it clear that the parents are in charge. Children of authoritative parents know what is expected of them. Their parents explain the reasons for the rules and the consequences for breaking them. Parents also listen to their child's opinions, but the parent remains the ultimate decision maker.

Awareness campaigns can address groups of people in a region affected by a particular climate threat, groups of stakeholders, businesses or the public in general.

Awareness campaigns are considered more effective if several communication strategies are used, such as : dissemination of printed materials; organisation of public meetings and training; professional consultation; communication and information through social and mass-media, and use of informal networks for information dissemination.
