Family is like a roller coaster and is always changing and adapting as is needed. One day, a family may be permissive and allow their children to do as they please. However, the next day, the parents may feel it is necessary to use a dictatorial style where everything they say is essentially the law of the house. The last parenting style, authoritative, is when the rules are consistent and the parents are flexible. Depending on which of these styles a parent uses, the child will grow up in a different atmosphere that can influence their personality. This is the idea of nurture, whereas the idea of nature would be that the genetics of the parents, not their parenting style, is what decides the children’s characteristics. Arguably, authoritative parenting is the most effective and reliable, whereas permissive parenting can lead to a lack of stability within a family.

The movie Parenthood revolves primarily around the three generations of the Buckman family. The family is rooted from Frank, who is the patriarch of the Buckmans. Him and his wife Marilyn are the parents of four adults, Gil, Helen, Susan and Larry. Their four children have also developed families of their own. Gil, their eldest son, is married to Karen. Together they are raising three children, Kevin, Taylor and Justin. Helen is a single mother of two teenagers, Julie and Gary. Susan is married to Nathan, who raises their daughter Patty with the goal of educating her into a child prodigy. Lastly, the youngest son of Frank, Larry, is unmarried but has recently just discovered his three year old son. Together, the two generations of offsprings of Frank and Marilyn Buckman demonstrate Alfred Adler’s Birth Order Theory.

Unfortunately, most times it is very easy for people to not recognize the troubles of others around them. Sometimes other people not in my family unit believe that the Brainerd family is calm, cool, and collected when on the contrary that is not the case. Likewise to my family, in the show Parenthood, Adam Braverman’s family struggles with many things: job difficulties, simple ordinary life, and child disabilities. If you took a quick glance at my family, I do not believe you would consider that a typical white suburban family like us has those same complications. For example, when I was four, and my brother was two, I desperately desired to help my mother give Jacob a bath. Because I was at a young age, when I tried to aid my mother she was forced to deal with me, and while she took her eye off of Jacob, he slipped off the edge of the counter and

Not everything is going to go the way you planned, thus causing you to think your whole world is coming down on you. The main points the director emphasized that caught my attention in this movie were adversity, denial and exhaustion.
