This needs to be an Argumentative/research essay. The topic is, "whether gentle parenting is effective". My declared stance is that I am ″for″ gentle parenting, with my thesis statement being somewhere along the lines as ″Gentle parenting takes practice and patience but can build a foundation for children that they can carry with them in all life stages.″

Instructions from the professor on formating and requirements are in his writing as follows:

Assignment: You will write an 8-10 page essay (not including the works cited page) that explores a question of your own that has developed from the topic/subject you have chosen. Much like the past three essays, you will formulate some kind of argument. This final research essay should logically develop a complex argument. In developing your argument, you should fully explain reasoning rather than simply relying on desсrіptions. You should incorporate sources that are properly introduced, cited (this means a works cited page), integrated, and explained in terms of the argument.

The essay should focus on textual evidence from at least FIVE sources. This means that you must find a minimum of five sources and use them in your essay.

I will look for a strong thesis and how well you support this with evidence (scholarly sources) in your body paragraphs, clear organization, smooth transitions, engaging and readable introduction and conclusion, and capable use of grammar and punctuation.

This essay should be 8-10 pages, not including the works cited page, double-spaced, Times New Roman font, 12 pt font, black color font, and 1-inch margins on all sides. The essay should have a title. You will be highly penalized if you do not meet the minimum page requirement.
