What is the impact of a parent's parenting style on the adjudication of a juvenile court's credibility determination?

Finally, mother's remaining arguments also ignore our standard of review. Mother cites Linder v. Thrifty Oil Co. (2000) 23 Cal.4th 429, 436. That case involved review of an order denying class certification. (Id. at p. 434.) It does not support the conclusion that an appellate court may reweigh a juvenile court's credibility determination. Additionally, the record does not support mother's characterization of the case as the juvenile court's rejection of her " 'tough love' " parenting style. Irrespective of mother's parenting style, the uncontested evidence showed that K.S. repeatedly engaged in self-harming conduct and that she repeatedly attempted suicide. Mother's argument that if K.S. "needed additional assistance," she would not have "testified to the contrary" is tantamount to requesting us to reweigh K.S. testimony. Mother's argument assumes that K.S. testified truthfully when she stated that she did not require additional therapy. Mother's assumption conflicts with the juvenile court's express finding that K.S. did not testify truthfully. Moreover, K.S.'s therapist indicated that K.S. required additional therapy. The juvenile court could have credited the therapist's testimony as well in ordering informal supervision.
