Chapter 1 Situation Analysis Filipinos are famous when it comes to agriculture. Agriculture is the primary source of income among farmers. Farming is the most important sector in the Philippine society and farmers are the most industrious people. Through the laborious work of farmer’s, families are able to feed their members. Because of farming people are able to eat healthy foods. However, the real situation about farmers is difficult. For them there is no excuse not to go to the fields and work, there is no limit to their sacrifices, sometimes they fail to have enough rest because they need to attend to their farms. And to top this, they need to earn money and to support their children to be able to sustain their needs. Aside from the daily task in their farm, farmers have to take part in parenting tasks. When they get home from the fields they face the grueling task of disciplining their children. Parenting could be one of the greatest struggles of farmer parents. In contrast, Diana Baumrind said thatParenting is a most challenging yet rewarding experience. Diana Baumrind developed a classification of parenting styles such as authoritative, authoritarian, permissive and uninvolved or …show more content…
She posited three types of parenting styles: authoritarian, permissive, and authoritative (Berger 2001). The authoritarian parenting is where parents establish the rules and expect that children will follow them without expectation. The authoritative parents also have rules that children are expected to follow, however, they will allow some expectations to the rule. The permissive parents don’t offer much discipline. They tend to be lenient and may only step in when there is a serious problem. The neglectful they often do not meet their children’s basic needs and may expect children to raise
Glass Castle Parenting Paradigms In The Glass Castle, a memoir by Jeanette Walls, Rex and Rosemary Walls most exemplify the permissive parenting style. From the very beginning of the memoir, Rex and Rosemary show that they aren’t too involved and “have very few demands to make of their children” (Cherry, “The Four Styles of Parenting”). Jeanette recalls an early memory of her childhood, “I was three years old… I was standing on a chair in front of the stove” (9).
Learning objective 8. 15 was Erikson’s Theory where we talked about different parenting styles. There are four different types: authoritarian, permissive neglectful, permissive indulgent, and authoritative. A parent who is an authoritarian type will never let the child have a say in anything or give them reasons for telling the “no”, it’s a “my way or the highway” type of parent. A permissive neglectful parent doesn’t care one slight bit about what the child does.
This style involves setting limits, but being flexible (not making few rules or creating unquestionable laws/rules), encouraging responsibility and paying attention to and being sympathetic towards the child (not using any discipline at all or using very strict punishment), and consider themselves as guides (not authorities or friends). What are the limitations of Baumrind’s description of parenting styles? Baumrind didn’t consider socioeconomic, cultural, or temperamental distinctions, didn’t focus on the parent’s actions, didn’t acknowledge that some authoritarian parents are also loving, and did not recognize that some permissive and lenient parents provide a great amount of verbal guidance to their children. What seems to be the worst parenting
Throughout the movie, Parenthood, the three main parenting styles were displayed throughout as, the dictator, permissive, and democratic. The dictator form of parenting, also known as the authoritarian parent sets strict rules and guidelines and will not changing them or give any leeway. Children that have authoritarian parents usually have low self-esteem and trouble to do things on their own when they get older. Then there is the permissive parent, who rather than setting rules and guidelines, opts out of this, their discipline is not seen and if they do set rules, they don 't punish when the rules are broken. There is also a balance of good parenting seen in the democratic form.
Another example of the permissive parenting style shown
Living and working on a farm gives children a strong work ethic and promotes an active lifestyle that can improve their health. Family owned and operated
In the book The Glass Castle Jeannette Walls, the narrator displays her parent's parenting skills as authoritative. According to Cherry, Kendra. “Psychology: What They Are and Why They Matter.” The Four Styles of Parenting. she defines authoritative parents as being “... more nurturing and forgiving rather than punishment”.
The parenting paradigm style most exemplified by the Walls family in The Glass Castle a memoir by Jeannette Walls is permissive. Permissive parents are often justified as merely disciplining their children (Cherry, “The Four Styles of Parenting”). Jeannette states that “Dad squatted in front of us” and asked, “so what happened here” to his children who got into an altercation with one of the neighborhood kids (89). Rex Walls demonstrates his inability to rightfully discipline his children for a crime that they committed, by simply just brushing it off and agreeing to skedaddle, or run away from the incident, once again. Permissive parents are also described as being more responsive than they are demanding (Cherry).
In the novel The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, Rex and Rosemary Walls exemplify uninvolved parenting. Kendra Cherry author of “The Four Styles of Parenting” discusses how uninvolved parents tend to neglect the children and their needs. “When we tried to help him he cursed and lurched at us swinging his fist” (122). Rex practically avoids the kids and neglects any sort of help although he was in need and he also almost ended up hitting one of the kids. Another thing Cherry talks about is that uninvolved parents are detached from their children’s lives.
There are four major recognized parenting styles: authoritative, neglectful, permissive, and authoritarian. Each parenting style uses a different approach to discipline.
In the book The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, the parenting style that best fits the parents is permissive, they show every characteristic of a permissive parent. They “rarely discipline” Jeannette when she burns herself cooking hotdogs (Cherry, “The Four Styles of Parenting”). “I was on fire. It’s my earliest memory.
Another theory or psychology term that can be interpreted in the movie is different parenting styles such as permissive and authoritative parenting. Permissive and or Indulgent parenting is characterized by parents or guardians being too involved or interested in a child’s life, but at the same time they do not demand much from the child, such as having low expectations. Parents who use this type of parenting usually have few rules or standards for behavior. However if they do enforce the rules they are often very inconsistent or not really forced upon the child. Permissive parents also try to be more of a friend to a child rather than an adult.
I want to explain mainly what the parenting style are. According to Baumrind and her colleagues, there are three parenting styles. These are authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive parenting styles. Baumrind focused on communication and interaction between parents and child. Authoritarian parenting style; parents who have an authoritarian parenting style set strict rules for their children and rules are important for these parents.
Like permissive parents, authoritative parents are responsive, nurturing, and involved. But unlike permissive parents, authoritative parents don’t let their children get away with bad behaviour. Authoritative parents take a firm stand, anticipating that their kids should carry on dependably. Like tyrant guardians, legitimate guardians uphold rules. As a psychologist, I feel that authoritative parenting style helps in developing their social behaviour while authoritarian degrades it.
The parenting style that is widely recognized as the “most effective and beneficial parenting style for normal children” is authoritative. This parenting style is demanding and responsive. The authoritative parenting style hold high expectations for their children while providing an understanding support (Hughes, 2013). An authoritative parent is one that remains in control and is both demanding and responsive with their children.
