Parenting Styles Analysis

The Youtube videos shows us several examples of parenting styles. The first example is rejection and neglect because they didn’t pay enough of attention to their daughter. The second example is permissive because she was more of a friend than a mother. The third example is first authoritarian from the father and authoritative on the mother side. The father set rules at home without an explanation. The fourth example is authoritative because he understood why his daughter fail but wanted the best for her. The fifth example was authoritative because they allow their daughter to sleep over but with certain people and the father wanted to give his kids a good example for life. The sixth example was rejection because she didn’t take care when her
son left the house, instead she continue watching the television like if no one was talking to her. The seventh example was permissive because the father had no firm rules for his daughter. Finally, the last example was authoritarian because she didn’t allow her daughter to have a party and didn’t explain why and the father was authoritative because he didn’t see nothing wrong with her daughter having that party. I was raised with two parenting styles.
My father would set rules but to a limit. However, my mother was more authoritarian. She is more difficult to understand us and allowing us to go out. I have a sister that is seven years older than me. I am 20 years old right now and I am not allowed to go out to party. The only party I am allowed to attend is family reunions. My father is more understanding and let us go out for than my mom. I feel that my mother is stricter on us because she went through a difficult time when she was a teenager. She is afraid that we will make a mistake and come out pregnant. She tries to prevent us from being at-risk. However, I have always wanted her to understand that things are different now and that she need to allows us to go out and enjoy our adolescent life. No matter how much we talk to her she is firm with her rules and no one changes her mind. I feel that being raised to an authoritarian parenting styles has affected me in a certain way. I am glad I was raised that way because it has shaped me who I am and understanding them in a way. However, I think it is to a certain limit. It is good being authoritarian when they are young but then there comes a stage in life where you have to start being authoritative with your
kids. When I have my kids I want for me and my husband to have authoritative parenting style. I believe that they should have rules but to a certain limit. I would say freedom with limit. Where my kids can talk to me anything they want and I will give them my advice without getting them in trouble, depending the situation. I want them to be responsive and not always depending on us. I feel like our relationship with our kids would be stronger because they would feel like we understand them. I am afraid that I might end up becoming like my mother. I have nothing against my mother parenting style but I feel there is better parenting ways. I feel like my mother is raising us the way she was raised. I can go on and on about the way we were raised but then I feel this experiences will help me think about how I want to raise my own kids. I feel like I will be more loving with them and encourage them on any decision they make.
