Middle Ground Parenting

137 Words1 Page

Authoritative parents are sensitive and loving to their child, like permissive parents, however they also demand respect and responsibly from their child, like authoritarian parents. This type of middle ground parenting lies the foundation for emotional stability to be built up in a child. The loving and sensitive parenting fosters stable and assured attachments while it also prevents kids from developing internalizing problems; at the same time, enforcing limits makes children less likely to become involved in drug and alcohol use, juvenile delinquency, or other antisocial behavior. The unstable person, on the other hand, is subject to fairly wide, frequent, often unpredictable mood shifts, harmful impulsivity and inappropriate intense anger

    Every way that a parent goes about raising their child will have a unique result. Written by Bianca Mgbemere and Rachel Telles, “Types of Parenting Styles and How to Identify Yours” is an article outlining different approaches to parenting and the outcomes each of these approaches has. Each of these major parenting styles are classified by the “different reactions” that the “children which they are used on” harbor (Telles & Mgbemere 1). Telles and Mgbemere expand on four types of parenting styles: neglectful, permissive, authoritative, and authoritarian. Estep, Hanna, et al. utilize these same parenting styles in their study outlined in the report “THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARENTING STYLES, GENERAL DEVIANCE, ACADEMIC DISHONESTY, AND INFIDELITY”.

    Parents in non-maltreating families show more positive interactions between the parent and child, and mothers use more positive discipline approaches (e.g., reasoning, cooperation, approval). They have a warm and close relationship with the child as well as their partner, and help the child to gain a sense of mastery and competency in some area. They take advantage of positive behaviors by reinforcing and praising them; they have fewer aversive interactions with child, and are able to quickly end them. They provide structure for the child, give clear and simple instructions, and appear relaxed. They are able to soothe the child’s distress and distract them at times from potential conflicts by refocusing their attention on other activities.

    Madison James Authoritative parenting is the parenting style that my parents used when I was growing up. Growing up with this parenting style I have become independent and self reliant. Some characteristics of authoritative parents include: listening to their child, letting their child express their opinion, encouraging their children, giving them fair and reasonable consequences, giving their child the opportunity to express their reasoning, having expectations for their children, and most of all showing warmth and nurture to their child. Both my mom and dad have always listened to me and never ignored me. No matter what they have always listened to everything I've ever had to say.

  • Depression Parenting Styles

    The parenting style for authoritative parents has clear restrictions and it keeps children in predictable premises. This parenting style has the most positive effects for the early social development on children. Children with these parents are often more curious, more independent and more responsible, which was proven in the study. From this information, I was kind of surprised to see that the adolescents that have authoritative parents are the ones that are more likely to have depression. I figured the indifferent or indulgent parenting styles would be the ones with more depression due to the low demandingness and not much guidance.

    Better Personalities Obtained From Free-Range Parenting Approach The free-range parenting approach effectively paves a way for children to build up better personalities than the helicopter parenting approach, because children will learn to become independent, take control of feelings and develop curiosity under absolute freedom. Although people may argue that it is dangerous to let children play without supervision, the statistic data proves that it is actually safer for children. First of all, children will learn to manage their time wisely without parents’ guidance.

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.

    During adolescence, it becomes far more important for parents to really monitor their children, as the newfound independence of being a teenager can create many risks. Monitoring can include supervising a teenager's decisions, whereabouts, and academic progress. The goal during this time is to find and maintain balance between freedom and control. Too much freedom can lead to teenagers getting involved in risky behaviors; alternatively, too much control can result in psychological difficulties including feelings of guilt and anxiety (Santrock, 2017, pg.

    For instance, “The emotional involvement of parents really does matter and affects the outcome of their child’s emotional competence and regulation”(Murphy1). This means that the parent and child connection can have a direct influence on how the child acts emotionally. Some can argue against the statement: “Discipline is the process of teaching your child what type of behavior is acceptable”(Steinberg 1). This means that parents use discipline to form the child's behavior and teach the child right from wrong. Lack of discipline can increase the likelihood of violent behavior because of the parent's lack of involvement and discipline.
