Parenting styles can affect everything from how much your child weighs to how they feel about themselves.<\/h2>\n

It’s\u00a0important to ensure our parenting styles support healthy growth and development because the way you interact with your child and how you discipline them will influence them for the rest of their life.<\/p>\n

Researchers have identified four types of parenting styles:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Authoritarian:<\/strong> Controlling and strict<\/a>, rules are to be obeyed at all costs, no give or take.<\/li>\n
  2. Authoritative:<\/strong> Assertive and in control, there are rules but with communication and understanding.<\/li>\n
  3. Permissive:<\/strong> Lack of control, lenient, more of a friend than parent, if there are rules they are not enforced.<\/li>\n
  4. Uninvolved:<\/strong> No demands or consequences for bad behaviour. The parent is neglectful of the child.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    To get a clearer idea of how these parenting styles work, let\u2019s take one scenario and see how each parenting style would manage it:<\/p>\n

    Example:<\/p>\n

    Your young teenager wants their new boyfriend\/girlfriend to stay overnight at your house in their bedroom, but you suspect they will have sex<\/em>.<\/p>\n
