Parenting style is one of the leading factors in how well a child develops psychologically. Although there is no “best” way to parent a child, there is certainly a protocol that results in a more successful and happier child. Psychologists describe the ideal parenting as being “responsive to their children and willing to listen to questions.” (Cherry,2016) This results in both parties having a say in the matter. It is important to note, however that there is also a way of raising your child that does not give promising results and can affect the child for the rest of their life. This can vary from not giving them the love they need, ignoring them or being inconsiderately abrasive. This causes them to feel neglected as well as oppressed both…
Parenting style is considered a psychological construct which is directly linked to strategies used in child rearing. “The term is a complex activity that includes much specific behavior that works individually and collectively to influence the child” (Kordi 2010, p. 218). It can further be described as “normative patterns of behavior and tactics that parents use to socialize and control their children.” (Wentzel & Russel, 2009). Diane Baumrind conceptualized three types of parenting styles authoritative, authoritarian and permissive in 1971. This conceptualization was further extended by Maccoby and Martin to include two fundamental processes which consists of the number and types of demand made by parents and the contingency of parental reinforcement (as cited in Darling & Sternberg, 1993). Both these styles are described by a level of demandingness and responsiveness.…
Parenting and the way one chooses to parent is so crucial to child development; it affects every aspect of the child’s life. Parenting styles are choices and there is no right or wrong way to raise a child. In society there may be, but it only matters how to the person raising their child. There are endless ways people raise their children and even though we have four main parenting styles, sometimes many parents don’t even fit into one. Parents should just strive to raise their children as well as they can. The biggest thing a parent can do for their child is to teach them, support them, and be there for them. “At the end of the day, the most overwhelming key to a child's success is the positive involvement of parents.” - Jane D.…
Every decision that a parent makes in terms of the way they discipline and comfort their child directly affects multiple aspects of that child’s life as they grow and develop. Different parenting choices develop into parenting styles, or the practices that parents exhibit in relation to their children and their beliefs about those practices (Arnett, 2012). Diana Baumrind communicated four differing parenting styles: authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and disengaged. Each of the four styles of parenting is based on the dimensions…
Everyone is raised differently. Many children are shown warmth and love while others are not. Parenting styles definitely affect a child’s mental and physical development (Huffman, 2012, p. 349). In my experience, my parents used a type of parenting style know as authoritative, and I developed into an independent and strong willed woman (Huffman, 2012, p. 349).…
There are four styles of child-rearing: authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, and non – conformist. Sensitive parenting does not mean giving your child everything or not enforcing rules. According to Winnicott “a good – enough mother will allow just the right amount of delay in meeting an infant’s needs to encourage both tolerance of waiting and confidence in ultimate satisfaction”, (Ding et al., 2005, p.25) this leading to a healthy development of independence and sense of self. In the authoritarian parent style the children are expected to follow strict rules established by the parents, without asking why and obedience being very important. Authoritative parenting also has rules but the parents are responsive to their children and willing to listen to questions using rational explications. Permissive Parenting is the indulgent style where the parents are available as resources and not demanding at all. And the last parent style is the non – conformist one. Here the parents are less passive with few demands and little communication with their children. Parenting style has a big impact in a child’s life. The authoritarian parenting style brings children that are obedient, but they lack in self-esteem and social competence. The authoritative parenting style looks like is the best style to develop children that are confident, happy, and independent, with self – esteem. The permissive parenting…
Parenting styles is a model of parental control developed by Diana Baumrind. In her research she determined that there are three descriptive model of parental control that differentiates parents on the basis of maintaining control over their children. (Erberg, Querido, Warner, 2002). According to our text, there are three parenting styles. These are Authoritarian parenting, Permissive Parenting and Authoritative parenting. Each is described as a style where different levels of parental control, guidance and influence are asserted. These different levels may have a direct association with a specific child or adolescent behaviors and affecting individual’s personal development and ability to deal with the outside world as adults. When we consider how our parents raise their children, do we say they know what it takes to properly prepare them for what they will face outside the home? We can say that as parents we try to bring our children up as best we can. Authoritarian Parenting emphasizes on control through strict discipline and obedience. Permissive parenting emphasizes on self-expression and self-regulation with few demands or expectations placed on the child.…
Parenting Styles in the Development of IdentityChildren are always exploring their independence and developing their identity, or in other words, a sense of self. Research has shown that those who receive proper encouragement and reinforcement will emerge with a strong sense of self. Those who do not receive proper encouragement and reinforcement will remain unsure of themselves and confused about the future. For this reason, I believe an authoritative parenting style is the most beneficial factor in the formation of identity.…
