Answer 1
The father's reaction was not justified, although Hanna had resorted to social networking
for expressing her disgust towards the household chores that she has to do at her home and the
fact that she was not being paid for any of these activities. Teaching her a lesson by making a
video message and firing bullets at her laptop was not an acceptable reaction, expected from the
parent.
Answer 2
Posting about her mental state of mind and bitterness towards her father in a public social
media platform was incorrect on the part of the daughter. She could have directly consulted him,
in order to discuss the mental stress that she was going through by seeking advice, and together
they could have identified new strategies for making the environment at home feasible.
Answer 3
On being a parent to Hanna, I would have adopted the authoritative parenting style,
which is primarily characterized by high responsiveness and reasonable demands. While having
high expectations from the child, I would also have provided her with the necessary support and
resources that she requires to be successful, and would have also demonstrated openness to her
emotional needs.
Answer 4
The father manifested authoritarian parenting style that is exemplified by low
responsiveness and high demand, and had extreme high expectations from Hanna, while
providing little or negligible nurturance and feedback (Uji et al., 2015). This kind of parenting

style comprises of harsh punishment for mistakes, which was also seen in the scenario by firing
bullets into the laptop. It also prevented the father from demonstrating patience for his daughter’s
misbehavior.
