Melvin Kohn is known for his study on the parenting styles based on the social class the family belongs to. If the family is in the middle class, they value the trait of independence. These type of parents allow their children to do what they want with minimal supervision. Children get to learn things on their own. When they grow up, they tend to be clever in dealing problems. For families belonging to the upper class, they value the traits of conformity and obedience. Children who grew up with this parenting style are generally dependent on their parents when it comes to decision making.
