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. They expect their children to hold a certain level of maturity. In this type of parenting style, the relationship between the parent and the child is very structured. The communication is very open between the two. The open communication allows the parent to provide a more understanding support. This way the child knows and understands, not only what their parents expect from them, but also the world around them. As
In this part, I will examine Diana Baumrind 's parenting style. 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. These families have a weak communication with their children. This communication based on discipline. Children have to
Spanking remains a common, if controversial, childrearing practice in the United States (Gershoff, 2013). I believe that parents should be trusted with the freedom and responsibility of shaping their children’s behavior. Spanking can be one effective discipline option among the many options in a parents’ disciplinary process (Gershoff, 2013). I believe spanking, as a disciplinary action, is useful and should be administered within the proper guidelines.
I was not a child who had such strict parents that I was not allowed to do anything or go anywhere, but I had parents who cared about me and my well being. I had rules I had to follow and If I did something wrong I had to face the consequences. My punishments for everything I did wrong were never unfair. My parents always gave me a chance to explain my reasoning. Whether it was a good or bad reason I was always able to explain my reasoning for whatever the circumstance was. My parents were not as strict as authoritarian parents because they allowed me to explore freely and make decisions on my own.
According to Cherlin, “The authoritative parent combines high levels of emotional support with consistent, moderate control of their children” (p. 275). This style is different than the authoritarian or helicopter style as it does not involve control, but instead explained discipline. Leslie Kendall Dye exhibits this style when she defends herself after being scolded for being a permissive parent “I have no tolerance for rudeness, for whining, for unwarranted aggression. I talk to my child frequently about empathy and manners. She has chores each morning and evening, and I ferociously police the number of toys in our house” (par. 9). The fact that she permits natural consequences and views setbacks as learning opportunities instead of controlled and unexplained discipline is the key difference between authoritative and authoritarian
Parenting has never been easy, and as any parent will admit, it is a very exhausting job. At the same time, parents often claim that it gives the greatest rewards in life. Good parenting is often thought that parents must be involved in the minutiae of their kids’ lives in order to be successful. However, the main goal of parenting is to produce worthy citizens who contribute to their fellow human beings, and it must be up to the individual parent(s) to decide what looks like.
In the 1960s Diana Baumrind discovered the three different parenting styles over a long period. The first style is called The Authoritarian Parenting which is a very strict method in which they keep their children close to them so they can watch and control their every step. The parents have very high expectations for their children so any misbehavior is not tolerated and is usually corrected right after by a harsh punishment given onto them. Another Style is called the Permissive parenting which is of Buaumrind as too soft as a parent. They strongly believe in equality of the parent and the child and believe that their children should have a say in any decision they make. Giving the children the power. The
Authoritarian parenting is described as a restrictive, punitive style in which parents exhort the child to follow their directions and respect their work and effort (Santrock,245). This form of parenting style involves very strict rules and is very controlling over the children and doesn’t tolerate any back talk. Parents that demonstrate this style of parenting have high expectations for their children and they do not trust them to make smart decisions (Cherry, “The Effects of Authoritarian Parenting on Children”, 2018). The way this style relates to my parents is by the way that they have very high expectations of me when it comes to school and have always expected me to do very well and get good grades. However my parents do trust me in making the right decision, and they do not put heavy limitations on
Parenting styles is the main elements which contribute to the prosocial behavior as Authoritative parenting could support prosocial behavior by modeling other-oriented behavior that children may emulate, encouraging children to be more considerate and caring, and eliciting affection and connectedness that make children more receptive to efforts to foster concern for others (Hastings et al., 2000). Authoritarian style of parenting may undermine children’s prosocial behavior by modeling a lack of concern for the needs of others, or engendering hostility and the rejection of parental socialization efforts. Less prosocial children might engage in more undesirable behaviors that elicit more punishment from parents, or they may elicit fewer feelings
In today’s society, parenting styles differ tremendously: easy-going, strict, trusting, etc. The way a child is raised at home greatly affects the response the child has at school and in social situations. Each household type will have a designated letter for a child: Child E lives in an easy-going house, Child S lives in a strict house, and Child T lives in a trusting house.
One of the more common styles used, it incorporates effective discipline tactics like an authoritarian, but offer equal love and nurturance like a permissive parent would. The benefits to authoritative parenting compared to the prior two styles are that a child’s life is more balanced. Children from authoritative backgrounds receive more of a normal life compared to those with permissive or authoritarian upbringings. Parents will mutually guide them with love, but not hesitate reprimand them when a wrongdoing has occurred. By doing so, it prevents children from being spoiled. They’re able to differentiate when something good has happened, or they’ve just disappointed their parents and consequences will transpire. Another benefit of authoritative parenting is the parents offer more motivation and support in their actions. While overwhelming support and love is a trademark to permissive parenting, authoritative parents know the boundaries to not overdo it to prevent their children from becoming overconfident. Also within this style, discipline is more positive without the harsh aftermath. A child is less likely to experience anger issues if they’re able to associate punishments when they’ve done something bad. It’s rather different than authoritarian parenting where if they accidently did it and admitted to it, they still received the same level of punishment regardless. As a result, parents strive for their kids to be better and “although authoritative parents also make demands, they accord their children a high degree of autonomy and responsibility, and encourage them to set their own goals and work schedule” (Leung et al. 3). Lastly, an outcome of the authoriatative method resides in school performance being consistently satisfiable. It’s not uncommon for parents to use positive reinforcement for good grades.
Actually, research has uncovered that parenting styles can impact a child 's social, subjective, and mental development, which influences children both in the childhood years, and as a grown-up. This is on the grounds that children create through various boosts, communication, and trade, which encompass them. The way that parents are consistently around a child 's life they will impact him/her either adversely or decidedly. Parenting styles incorporate legitimate, tyrant, liberal, and careless parenting.

He proposed different theories about parents and their kind of authority over their children. These include: authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive parenting. Authoritative can be described as a strict parent, one that is very controlling, yet supportive, and they increase verbal communication between themselves and the child. Authoritarian parenting is very similar—they express much control, however, they discourage the amount of verbal communication and preach more about obedience. Lastly, permissive parents are the complete opposite and take no responsibility when it comes to influencing and shaping their children’s behaviors. They are neglectful parents and often let their children do as they please. The study consisted of a questionnaire which random participants of age would fill out regarding different statements about their emotions and parenting styles. They would rate the questions with 1 (completely disagree) through 7 (completely agree). They found that parenting styles are in fact related to emotional intelligence and how they act. The article refers to a study by Williams, Ciarrochi, and Heaven (2012), which found the impact of these different
This is because “mothers use more reasoning/induction, warmth, and involvement, and democratic participation than fathers; fathers use more non-explanation type responses” (Russell 93). However, not all mothers and fathers are the same. In some families, the mothers are the strict parent while the father is considered the nicer parent. Therefore, not all mothers use authoritative parenting and not all fathers utilize authoritarian parenting. Instead, the type of parenting style that one utilizes is based off one's personality. Not all individuals are capable of standing their ground, therefore, they will either alternate the type of parenting style the use or utilize the permissive parenting style. Between mothers and fathers, fathers are at a higher risk to utilize the permissive parenting style since fathers tend to “lack on the follow through in discipline” (Russell 96). This can be because of multitudinous reasons. For example, the father may either be too busy in his work life to follow through on discipline or may not want to be considered the “bad” parent, so they tend not to follow through on what they say they are going to disciple their child
