Uninvolved Style

The authoritarian parent attempts to shape, control, and evaluate the behavior and attitudes of the child in accordance with a set standard of conduct, usually an absolute standard, theologically motivated and formulated by a higher authority. ”(Ibid, p.890) “The authoritative parent attempts to direct the child's activities but in a rational, issue-oriented manner. The parent encourages verbal give and take, shares with the child the reasoning behind her policy, and solicits his objections when he refuses to conform. ”(Ibid,

A person’s behavior is influenced by the way their parents’ raised them. Being nurtured by someone at such a young age, many do not realize how much of an influence their parent was to their development. People only understand the significance of parenting until they start tending their own children. Parenting is more important and has a long-term effect on children than what most parents assume. It is vital for parents to realize that every action they conduct is significant in a child’s development and how content and prosperous children become in upcoming years. The most beneficial approach to nurture children is authoritative parenting style, which has been proven to result in the most happiest and successful children in life.

Many psychologists throughout history have indulged in studies related to parenting behavior and how children are affected from such behavior. The work of Diana Baumrind, which is considered to be one of the most influential and well-studied theories of parenting behavior, was the first to identify three styles of parenting (Sclafani 44). These styles of parenting are called authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive. This paper will further explain descriptions of these styles and the typical behaviors of children as a result of each style. This paper will also provide insight on the parenting style I was raised on along with my thoughts on types of discipline I might use in the

Authoritarian is only one of three parenting styles that Baumrind details. The other two styles include authoritative and permissive. These two variations in parenting styles were seen in the way my relatives and friends’ parents approached parenting. I observed how the parents of my close friend handled parenting. They maintained control over aspects in my friend’s life like school and chores but allowed the freedom to make decisions in areas of social activities. The most striking difference between my parents and my friend’s is the use of reasoning and the expression of warmth. Her parents provided justification behind their commands and or punishments while maintaining a sense of love and affection. The bond and love that is evident between my friend and her parents is not as strong in the relationship between my parents and me. The style that her parents exhibit is known as authoritative because of their focus on some parental control, use of reasoning and warmth. While on the other hand, my cousins raised their children in a completely different manor using a permissive parenting style. While they provide obvious love and affection towards their children, they fail to exert control and regulations. They did not have any real sense of rules in their household. Their children tend to act and do whatever they wanted with little to no repercussions.

level of efficiency, giving rise to a negative flux in discipline response, reward deficiency, and increased aggression and impulsivity.

Authoritative parents know what they want their children to do, but they also treat them with respect and warmth. Children raised with this parenting style are independent, self-reliant, competent, and tend to do well in school. Authoritarian parents have strict guidelines, are very demanding, and do not respect or communicate well with their children. Their treatment of their children is cold and rejecting. This parenting style tends to cause hostility and resentment in children. The children are less confident, do not do as well academically or socially, and are often anxious and irritable. Permissive-indulgent parents are easy going and have low attempts to control their children. The children are treated with warmth and support. Children raised by permissive parents tend to be resourceful and have high self-esteem. However, research supports the idea that these children have less self-discipline and are less responsible than children from authoritative families. (Permissive Parenting) Rejecting-neglecting parenting involves having low demands for behavior and low attempts to control their children. “The children of neglectful parents are the least competent, responsible, and mature.” (Rathus, pg. 167)

Authoritarian is when parents use shame, humiliation, anger, or physical discipline. Permissive parents impose few restrictions on the children. Authoritative parents do not employ shame, humiliation, or physical punishment but do maintain rules and limits.

         Children with permissive parents are likely to be aggressive, particularly if the parents are specifically permissive toward aggressiveness. This child is likely to be somewhat immature in their behavior with peers and in school. For example, child may throw temper tantrums at recess in reaction to “not getting their way” with their peers. Every child 's parents aren 't always committed to each other so if that child sees how it feels to not have both parents they tend to lack discipline. They don 't learn right from wrong right away.

Parents raise children who become conscientious, obedient, and quiet but not especially happy. Such children tend to feel guilty or depressed, internalizing their frustrations and blaming themselves when things don’t go well in an Authoritarian style. As adolescents, they sometimes rebel, leaving home before age 20. (Baumrind, 2005; Baumrind et al., 2010; Chan & Koo, 2011; Huver et al., 2010; Rothrauff et al., 2009; Deater-Deckard, 2013). I like that style at a young age because I believe it is needed to make a child stronger mentally, sometimes it isn't suppose to be just fun and games.

Children and young adults with authoritarian parents seem to develop bad behavior and will lie so that they will not get in trouble (Douglas,2017). Young adults with the permissive parenting tend to be more aggressive (DeWall and Meyers, 2017). Children with the uninvolved parent have no relationship with their parents (Douglas,2017). DeWall and Meyers(2017) states that children with Authoritative parents have the highest self-esteem, self-reliance, and social competence. Murphy and Johnson(2011) says that these parents encourage kids to be independent, but also set limits and boundaries.

One of the first things parents are supposed to do for their children is socialization. This is where the parents socialize children to function in the government, education, and the economy. However, socialization starts with the family. There are three main parenting styles are the authoritative, permissive, and authoritarian. The authoritative style is the recommended style, it combines high level of emotional support with consistent, moderate control of their children. The permissive style provides emotion support but exercise little control over their children. Lastly, the authoritarian style, combines low levels of emotional support with coercive attempts at control of their children. The main thing parents are supposed to do is to provide

We should also note here that parenting style may change during stages of adolescence; with growing age parental control tends to diminish (Roche, Ahmed, & Blum, 2008). Thus, we also hypothesized that parental control might play a more important role in late adolescents' behaviour.'' The third parenting style is a permissive parenting .they are the more tolerant type. They don't require much discipline or rules on the child.

Children with authoritarian parents usually lack social skills and self-esteem. Children with permissive parents are typically more aggressive and

Third, authoritarian is the best method among the parenting styles to rear a child. Recall that parenting style is the strategies of the parents use to bring up a child. According to Diana Baumrind, clinical psychologist, there are four types of parenting styles namely: authoritative, permissive, authoritarian and uninvolved. Moreover, these parenting styles, according to studies, produce various outcomes to the children (See psychology.about.com). Table 1, presents the characteristics of each parenting styles while Table 2, shows the comparison of the positive and negative effects it created towards the children.

Often times, children of permissive parents are manipulative. This is because the parents submit to their children if they act out. Children of permissive parents are impulsive, the children do not learn how to control themselves. Children brought up by this parenting style “do slightly worse in school during adolescence and are more likely to be aggressive and somewhat immature in their behavior with peers and in school”
