Conflict

Explanation:

According to my research on studies conducted by various sociologists, I can say that based on the information provided within the question the sociological paradigm that fits this story is Conflict. This can be said because two different parents are telling their kids how they should grow up in order to be successful and each explanation contradicts the other.
