The quality and personality of the children growing up today will determine the destiny that approaches each family in this country. Therefore, is mandatory for everyone rising up a children to educate them in a productive manner an in a helpful direction. In the book "theories of development: concepts and applications" the author identify two deferments childrearing practices that she calls concerted cultivation which consist of dialogical interaction, relatively equal threated and organize different activities controlled by the parents and typically used by the middle class families.
