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
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 Responses:<\/p>\n If any of those ring true, you might be an authoritarian parent. Authoritarian parents believe kids should follow the rules without exception.<\/p>\n Authoritarian parents<\/a> are famous for saying, “Because I said so<\/em>,” when a child questions the reasons behind a rule. Their focus is on obedience. They\u00a0are not interested in negotiating or discussion. They also don’t allow kids to get involved in problem-solving challenges or obstacles. Instead, they make the rules and enforce the consequences with little regard for a child’s opinion.<\/p>\n Authoritarian parents will punish their children<\/strong> rather than talk to them. As a result, they are extremely demanding of their children but not very responsive to their child\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n You may be an authoritative parent<\/a> if you can relate to the above statements. Authoritative parents have rules and they use consequences, but they also listen to their children’s opinions. They validate their children but let them know who is in charge.<\/p>\n Authoritative parents are assertive and try not to restrict their children unless it compromises their safety. But even then they will communicate their reasons for doing so. They want to strike a balance<\/strong> so that their kids end up making good decisions for themselves.<\/p>\n Permissive parents<\/a> are lenient. They will only get involved if a problem arises.<\/p>\n They’re quite forgiving with a \u2018kids will be kids\u2019 kind of attitude. They avoid confrontation<\/strong> and take on a friendlier role than a parenting one. Mums are best mates with their daughters and might go out clubbing together, for example. If they do enact consequences for bad behaviour, they are soon withdrawn or \u2018let off\u2019.<\/p>\n Sometimes permissive parents can overindulge their children and think that parenting is about giving them what they lacked as children. Furthermore, if the parents grew up in poverty, they might want to spoil their kids and give them everything they ask for.<\/p>\n Uninvolved parents<\/a> tend to have little knowledge of what their children are doing. They do not set any rules or guidance and have little to do with their children\u2019s upbringing.<\/p>\n They provide the basic minimum<\/strong> which includes shelter, food and clothing but apart from that, there is little nurturing or love. Furthermore, uninvolved parents do not provide psychological or emotional needs.<\/p>\n The studies are clear, however, that authoritative parenting is the best parenting style. But even if you tend to identify with other parenting styles more, there are steps you can take to\u00a0become a more authoritative parent.<\/p>\n References<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Parenting styles can affect everything from how much your child weighs to how they feel about themselves.
