Prompt: Your research question is designed to explore a complex issue. What makes this topic difficult to answer or solve? Identify at least two different perspectives or factors related to your topic and explain why understanding multiple viewpoints is important.

This topic is difficult to answer because many people have different views on parenting strategies. There is no correct way because everyone raises their child differently.
