Three Types Of Parenting Styles
Parenting styles
The 3 types of parenting styles include authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive according to Diana Baumrind.
The first parenting style is authoritative which also tends to be the most successful type of parenting. Authoritative is when a parent is not being sheltering of a child but making sure the child has an understanding of the rules and regulations the parent has set in place but they explain the reasoning behind the decisions they make. Many of these children grow up to be very respectful of the needs of others. The children of an authoritative parent may also have a much higher self-esteem and are popular amongst their peers. An example can be setting a curfew and making sure the child is in the house by that
time, if the child does not return to the house by that time they are grounded most definitely.
The second style of parenting is authoritarian. Parents in this category do not explain the reason behind the consequence. If a child is being disciplined it is strictly because the parents says so with no reasoning behind it. There are no questions, comments or concerns when it comes to the Childs behavior. Most boys in this category tend to have trouble in school. These children are much more fearful and do not associate well with peers. Children are at a higher risk of gaining weight if their parents are authoritarians. An example includes making a child do the dishes and them not doing them to your expectations so you make them do it again. They then get upset and ask why and you say “because I said so”.
Finally, there is permissive style. These are the more lax parents. They have no type of control over their children because they do not impose discipline. They are affectionate towards their children but let the children do as they please. Examples include letting a teenage boy go in and out of the house at all hours of the night although there is a 10pm curfew in San Antonio for children 17 years and under.
