Different Styles Of Parenting Styles

Parenting styles have been described as the collection of parents’ behaviors which create an atmosphere of parent-child interaction across situation (Mize and Petit, 1997). Darling and Steinberg (1993) defined parenting style as “a constellation of attitudes toward the child that are communicated to the child and that, taken together, create an emotional climate in which the parents’ behaviors have expressed.” Despite these challenges, researchers have uncovered convincing links between parenting styles and the effects these styles have on children. There are different styles of parenting: authoritative, authoritarian and permissive.

This generation is much different from when I was brought up. I did not have a cell phone or computer and television in my room to take away. I and my two siblings turned our pretty good, but we knew growing up if we got into any trouble we would get spanked. Nowadays if this happens, some parents are considered abusing their children. I do not have children, but I do know it takes patients to be one. I have seen the way my sister and brother has disciplined their children and they are both similar. After research, I have found an authoritative parent would be the best approach out of indulgent, authoritarian, and uninvolved. This is due to the other parenting styles having a much more history of the child developing a psychological disorder;

The four primary parenting styles are Authoritarian, Permissive, Authoritative, and Uninvolved parenting styles. Authoritarian parents are very controlling and strict with their children. They expect obedience form their children and don’t tolerate expressions of disagreement. In contrast, Permissive parents are more relaxed and provide inconsistent feedback. They require little of their children and don’t see themselves as responsible for their children’s behavior. They also don’t set limits or control over their children. Authoritative parents are firm and set clear and consistent limits for their children. While they tend to be strict they show love and emotional support for them as well. These parents tend to reason with their child as to why they should behave a certain way. These parenting styles also encourage the child to be independent. The fourth parenting style is uninvolved parenting style. These parents show interest in their children and display indifferent or rejecting behavior towards them. They detach emotionally and only see themselves as providers of materials goods such as shelter, food, and clothing.

With over three hundred million Americans and over six billion people worldwide parenting skills are essential to maintain a healthy society. Parenting involves many aspects and requires many skills. It is a time to nurture, instruct, and correct to develop fundamental skills children will need to be mature, responsible, and contributing adults to a society. There are four commonly identified parenting styles; authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, and uninvolved parenting. Of the four parenting styles, two remain on opposite ends of the parenting spectrum. These two styles; authoritarian, and permissive both have deleterious results that are often visible throughout different developmental stages, such as rebellious behavior. As well

Explain the specific impact parenting styles have on two issues related to child development. Examples include: obesity, resiliency, social-deviance, self-esteem, school performance, cognitive flexibility, and emotional intelligence.

Parenting style is one of many factors that strongly influence child development. One’s choice of parenting style is most often molded by their cultural background. American parents use a myriad of parenting styles, all of which have their roots in various cultural beliefs about which method is best to raise a child. In 1971, clinical and developmental psychologist, Diana Baumrind, recognized three different categories of parenting styles that she believed described most parents’ methods (Berger, 2011). Parents who fell into the authoritarian style of parenting set high standards and strict rules for their children. Disobedience was not tolerated and was met

I think so many factors influence parenting. I would like to start this off with one of the most important factors I think that influence parenting, and that is having a child unplanned and not being ready for it versus planning for a child and being ready for it.

The four basic types of parenting styles include neglectful, permissive, authoritative, and authoritarian. Ideally, most parents should aim to be authoritative, meaning they should aim to posses essential qualities in their kind of parenting, such as being flexible with their children, being supportive, and democratic. Authoritative parents should also be assertive, set boundaries, and have high standards for their children as well. Even though being an authoritative parent best possible way to raise a child, many parents are permissive and neglectful, meaning they tend to present negative characteristics, for example, parents tend to distance themselves with their children’s issues and letting their children do whatever they want. The children then end up becoming demanding, spoiled, and often times uneducated with their family’s morals. Authoritarian parents, however, are the complete opposites of both neglectful and permissive parents. Authoritarian parents can be described as over-demanding, autocratic individuals. They tend to set very high standards for their children and demand to be obeyed, or else the children receive punishment without reflection of the issues. In Amy Chua’s essay, “Why Chinese Mother’s are Superior”, it is clear that she describes herself as an authoritarian parent. However, it is also clear to the audience that the decisions she makes for her children are one-sided, making her believe she is always right. Chua does not look back to reflect on

This current study was formulated to test the four parenting styles as they relate to adolescents in four sets of outcomes. Parenting styles were assessed based on authoritative, authoritarian, indulgent or neglectful style of parenting. Adolescent outcomes were based on psychosocial development, school achievement, internalized distress, and problem behavior. The researchers compared how the different parenting styles related to the outcomes of the adolescents and how they compared with each other.

            In this paper I will be looking at multiple popular parenting styles found and studied in psychology. There are four common parenting styles found in most homes which include, Permissive, Authoritarian, Neglecting, and Authoritative. I will be defining only two of these styles, and giving examples of actions found in each, discussing the outcomes as well as, identifying which parenting style is most recommended for parenting. And how we as Christians view this topic as well.

What are the three main parenting styles? Is one style better than the others? Explain, and explain why a parent may change their style as their child gets older.

O’Byrne, Haddock, Poston, and Mid America Heart Institute (2002) investigated whether parenting style was a risk factor of smoking initiation and experimentation among adolescents and whether there was a relationship between parenting style and readiness to quit, and nicotine dependence among smokers. O’Byrne et al. (2002) defined current smokers as those who smoke regularly, experimenters as individuals who have smoked on one or two occasions, but have not smoked in the past month. Initiated smokers were considered both current smokers and individuals who smoked regularly in the past and then quit. Readiness to quit was categorized into four stages: precontemplation, for those who had no intent on quitting, contemplation, for those who may quit but not within the next 6 months, preparation, for those who will quit within the next 6 months and action, for those who will quit next month. Parenting style was measure by the Family of Origin Scale (FOS) which measured family intimacy and autonomy. This scale

Parenting styles have been widely defined by Baumrind into three categories, authoritative, authoritarian and permissive. Parenting styles can be defined as a pattern of attitudes in how parents choose to express and communicate with their children. These styles are categorized based on the level of nurturance, parental control and level of responsiveness (Dwairy, 2004). Authoritative style exhibits high levels of demand, responsiveness and nurturance; authoritarian style exhibits high levels of demand but low levels of responsiveness, permissive style exhibits low levels of demand but high in responsiveness and nurturance (Dwairy, 2004). These parenting styles have been proposed to have a significant impact on a child’s

Children are not good or bad by birth, and at every stage of their childhood they need adults who will help them become caring, respectful and responsible humans in their societies. Parents have the responsibility to raise their children. It should be a vital obligation of parents to instill good habits in their children at very early stage of their childhood. Because children spend most of their early learning time at home with parents and other family members and they start learning good and bad things right from that moment . According to Susana Wesley, “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it” (Susana, 1). Parents should ensure the best ways of upbringing of children from a very early stage, because when children are taught good things it adheres to them forever. In this paper, I will analyze the similarities and differences of changing parenting styles of children’s education and public behavior/manners in American and Pakistani families.

Young adults today have become more outspoken with their attitudes and behavior today. Individuals are quick to judge these children and call them out of control when they are just acting out on the beliefs that they were taught while in their home. Their values and beliefs come from what their guardians believe to be right. Therefore you cannot blame a child for they way they act when they learn these interaction from being around their loved ones. Depending on the household parenting in America can be defined many ways. Considering that the youth of today’s generation will be the ones to who will take over the world, we need to make sure that the parents are giving them some sort of real life expectations of the world they live in.
