C. She focused more on parental attitudes than on daily interactions

Explanation:

Baumrind was a developmental psychologist who noticed the distinct types of behaviors in little children, because of this, she began her research on parenting styles. However, her research had a main focus, which was parental attitudes and this overshadowed daily interactions which could also influence a child's behavior; this is the main criticism against her research.
