In my paper about "The Witch" episode, I am focusing on the effect of over-controlling parents on their children. I want to know what the reasoning behind parents acting this way is. I’ve already been through this in my last blog, but I want to answer questions like why parents want to live through their children, and why do parents have such high expectations for something their child doesn’t even enjoy? Does this effect the child’s independence later in life? Will it prevent them from being able to make decisions on their own? Does the child feel obligated to please their parent? Or is it that they want attention from their parent, so engaging in the same activities their parents were in will get them attention easier. After reading these articles I should be able to get a grip on most of these questions.
