Parenting Style Analysis

Parenting style I can relate to a number of parent of parenting behaviors in the trailer “Parenthood.” I know this is supposed to be funny and some is exagerated, however, I can relate to the parenting style of Gil and Karen Buckman. They raise their children with lots of love, understanding and humor. However, I can also relate to the parenting style of Nathan Huffner. He wants his daughter to be the best of the best. He gives her pep-talks about her performances in school, spends time training her in extra curriculum activities and generally expects the best of her. With that being said, I feel that both are extrem opposites and I feel that my parenting style is somewhere in the middle. I do want my children to try their best, however, that is all that I ask of them. I can be a funny and loving parent, but when circumstances call for it I can also be very strict and assertive. One parent I can not relate to Helen Buckman. She seems very timid and afraid to talk to her children …show more content…

Fear, for the safety of my children. Fear, of not doing my best. Fear, that one day they might not make the right decissions. Fear, that they make the right friends and fear that I failed them. I always worry about my children. I fear for their safety constantly. I try not to think about it to much and let it overwhelm me, but the truth is that this fear is always in the back of my mind. The world can be a scary place and accidents can happen in a second. There are many bad people in this world and I fear that I will not be able to protect my children from getting hurt. I fear that even though I think I am doing a good job as a parent, I am not. There are so many things that I could be doing better, but sometimes life just gets in the way. I fear that I let life get in the way more often than I should and that I will regret it later on. I love my children and I am trying my best, but sometimes I fear that my best is not good

  • Tim Winton's Parenting Style Analysis

    293 Words  | 2 Pages

    Through his use of language features, particularly language choice and binary opposition, Tim Winton effectively reinforces a particular parenting style and intends to position the audience to support the relationship between Albie and his father. Winton uses sensory imagery to describe Albie’s interaction with his father, as well as emotive language. Albie is shown to be comforted by his father’s presence, as the “warmth of [his father] … beside him was enough,” effectively portraying a warm, familiar and loving relationship between the two. Winton’s diction is important in developing a strong personal response. I can easily visualise their relationship, which is key in eliciting a positive response to this parenting style.

    I am grateful to be in the position I am today. My parents tried to move away from the Asian stereotype that all Asian parents tend to be more Authoritarian. My parents decided to be more permissive-indulgent; they would set fewer rules than more parents, were more caring than most parents, were more open to their children’s ideas, etc. While that may seem like the perfect parenting style and one may assume that with that type of parenting style, I would be set up for success. However, my parents would spoil their children and this type of behaviour would carry on throughout the years.

  • Parenthood Movie Analysis

    Helen was another parent in the movie, she was a single mother raising her eldest Julie, and Gary her youngest. She displays the permissive parent styling in that she had rules but did not punish when it came to the rules being broken. For example, Julie threatened to drop out of school and when she did that Helen said she couldn’t live in her house anymore, so Julie left but Helen begged her to come back. Not only does this show the permissive parent styling, but it also shows Julie that her mom is not able to make basic rules and stick by them, so she’s able to walk all over her. Then, Gary is affected by this parent style due to the fact that Helen is trying to raise these two alone, without a male figure in his life and he doesn’t feel as though he can talk to her since he is the only male in the house, and it feels like his dad doesn 't want him since he started his new family.

  • The Parenting Paradigm Style In The Glass Castle By Jeannette Walls

    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.

  • Parenting Styles In 'Morticia And The Psychiatrist'

    403 Words  | 2 Pages

    The specific parenting styles used are permissive parenting in The Addams Family and authoritative parenting in Black-ish. Permissive parenting refers to the way in which “parents are usually warm and responsive but undemanding. They place few requirements on their children for orderly behavior or household tasks” (Benokraitis, 2014). The Addams parents rarely pressure their children into behaving a certain way, with the exception of Pugsley in “Morticia and the Psychiatrist,” and don’t rely on restrictions in order to discipline their children. The Johnsons, on the other hand, are more authoritative, in which they strike a balance between being demanding and being supportive (Benokraitis, 2014).

    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.
