Baurmind's Parenting Styles Paper

Would you have come out different if your parents used a different parenting style? If you are considered “cool” now could you have come out a nerd if your parents would have used a different parenting style? “Parenting style is one of the primary determinants of your child’s outcome whether he succeeds, achieves, meets the challenges, flounders, gives up, or runs from or fails in handling life.” (6) The purpose of this paper is to describe the outcomes, processes, labor, and techniques of parenting in a psychological point of view. Parenting styles are defined as the “manner in which parents express their beliefs on how to be a good or bad parent.” (4) Each parenting style has its weaknesses and

In this article, Beth discusses about the long term effects of authoritarian parenting in four different sides. First, she mentioned children of authoritarian parents live in a ambience that is high control and lack of warmth. They get a high obedience, it is based on fear, not the esteem. Second, she founds that some research shows children are more likely to be aggressive toward their peers such as name-calling and bullying although other research shows these children tend to be well-behaved. Third, it is about their relationships and performance in school. These children are less socially competent, less helpful, less popular and less likely to be accepted by their classmates. Fourth, the writer mentioned the benefits of authoritarian parenting. There is a evidence that friends of adolescents

However, they"(Morin, 2015) do "allow exceptions to the rule"(Morin, 2015). Authoritarian Parenting establishes rules but expects that the children/child will follow them without exceptions. Permissive Parenting tends to be lenient and only tends to get involved when there is a serious problem. Uninvolved Parenting is neglectful, they seem to "not meet"(Morin, 2015) the "children's needs and expect"(Morin, 2015) them "to raise themselves."(Morin, 2015).

There are three main types of parenting styles: authoritative, permissive, and authoritarian. There have been many studies conducted in an attempt to gain insight on the efficacy of the parenting styles aforementioned. Studies have found each of the respective types has varying parenting philosophies and effects on the children they are used on. Authoritative parenting is often regarded as the best parenting style and it is characterized as high in warmth and high in control. Authoritarian tends to produce negative results in children, as it is characterized as being low in warmth and high in demand (Sartaj & Aslam, 2010). Permissive parenting yields the worst effect for the outcome of children, characterized by high in warmth and low in control (Aldhafri, 2011). Factors such as culture and child behavior can affect parenting styles but parenting styles influence factors such as academic self-efficacy, behavior and social skills in children, so it is important for parents to be mindful of which style they use. Because of these factors my parents have taken on an authoritative parenting style, which has cultivated

Authoritarian parents normally do not interact with their children in positive ways and usually install fear into the child. Punishment is usually harsh and given without explanation. Children with authoritarian parents are often anxiety- ridden. Studies have shown that these children have lower self- esteem, show high aggressiveness and typically do less well in school. Permissive parenting consists of high nurture and acceptance, but these parents lack structure and control. These parents look at their children as “free spirits” who need space to learn and grow. Permissive parents are usually inconsistent with discipline. Children with permissive parents normally are impulsive and irresponsible. These children also lack any self- control since none was expected (Sclafani 47).

Based on the article “The Four Styles of Parenting” there are four basic styles how parents are raising their children. In the following I am going to analyze which of the styles is most exemplified by Rex and Rosemary Walls.

Parenting styles are as diverse as parents themselves. Parenting is one of the most challenging and difficult responsibilities a person can face. The way a family is structured is called the parenting style. Parenting styles are collections of parental attitudes, practices, and non-verbal expressions that characterize the nature of parent-child relationships. Because individuals learn how to parent from many different examples including their own parents, role models, society and life experiences. Parenting techniques can vary greatly from household to household, however, experts believe that parenting styles can be broken down into four main categories which include permissive,authoritarian,authoritative,and

O’Byrne, Haddock, Poston, and Mid America Heart Institute (2002) investigated whether parenting style was a risk factor of smoking initiation and experimentation among adolescents and whether there was a relationship between parenting style and readiness to quit, and nicotine dependence among smokers. O’Byrne et al. (2002) defined current smokers as those who smoke regularly, experimenters as individuals who have smoked on one or two occasions, but have not smoked in the past month. Initiated smokers were considered both current smokers and individuals who smoked regularly in the past and then quit. Readiness to quit was categorized into four stages: precontemplation, for those who had no intent on quitting, contemplation, for those who may quit but not within the next 6 months, preparation, for those who will quit within the next 6 months and action, for those who will quit next month. Parenting style was measure by the Family of Origin Scale (FOS) which measured family intimacy and autonomy. This scale

According to Diana Baumrind's descriptions of three parenting styles, my father was authoritarian and my mother is permissive. It was my father who set up a schedule of weekly chores that I was responsible for completing. If I did not complete them, or if I completed them but not to his standards, I was physically punished. It was my father who forced me to take ballet lessons instead of the karate lessons I wanted to take when I was ten years old. His reasoning was little girls didn't take karate lessons, and what he said was final. There are several other examples of his "my way or the highway" parenting but the memories are not pleasant for me. My mother is permissive in her parenting. She let my father set the rules but she didn't enforce

There are three different categories of parental care behavior: bi-parental, uni- parental, and non-parental (Royle 2013). Bi-parental usually consists of the male providing food while the female stays by shelter to nurture offspring; this is common among birds. Uni-parental care is common among mammals, the female takes care of the offspring, It is rare for the male to uphold such responsibility. Non-parental care is when the mother and father both give little energy to care for their child, this is seen in amphibians.

The film takes the viewer through a number of events starting with the childhood of three main characters giving an insider about the difference parenting skills living in the slums. Doughboy and Ricky raised by their single mother then there is Tre who lives across the street with his father Jason. As viewers become connected with doughboy, Richy, and Tre journey. Noticing how impacting the ongoing violence in their daily lives constructs their willingness towards succeeding in the future. One of the milestones they must learn to achieve is to mentality transition from children in hopes to one day become real men. The disruption of street wars within neighborhoods leaves a discomfort in society. The violence becomes displayed in films which

To enforce the teaching or transmission of these values to the small child, authoritarianism was the rule. Physical punishment in different forms, from scolding or tongue-lashing, threatening, spanking, pinching, ear pulling, and sometime, whipping were resorted to. There are however contrasting childrearing practices between the traditional authoritarian parents and the younger parents of today who are more liberal, and more conscious of children’s rights. In contrast to the authoritarian upbringing which consists of prohibitions and constant admonitions for the child to stop touching, clowning, jumping or talking, climbing or running around, the more liberal parents tend to be responsive, indulgent and overprotective. They give constant attention and hardly make any demands on the children. Food, toys, and other rewards are promised to pacify the child. Among the

The family system and parents are generally regarded as one of the most powerful forces in shaping adolescents. Parents have a great influence in the development of adolescents. The relationship of the parents largely effect the development of adolescents and is an important factor when looking at development. Well-adjusted adolescents tend to have intact families that are supportive and create a warm and loving environment with constant monitoring of behavior. The review examines the current research on adolescent development and how it is effected by parenting styles. Taking into account the changes that occur over time to parents this review shows the fluidity of parenting styles and the stressors that cause those changes.

Baumrind was born into a Jewish community in the New York’s Jewish enclaves. She was the first two daughters of Hyman and Mollie Blumberg. Diana, the eldest in an extended family of female cousins, inherited the role of eldest son, which allowed her to participate in serious conversations about philosophy, ethics, literature, and politics. She completed her B.A. in Psychology and Philosophy at Hunter College in 1948, and her M.A. and Ph.D. in Psychology at the University of California Berkeley. Baumrind completed a clinical residency as a staff psychologist at the Cowell Memorial Hospital/Kaiser Permanente (1955-1958) and was a fellow under the NIMH grant investigating therapeutic change, extending her leadership research to families and therapy groups. In her late family socialization research, she focuses on a structured (authoritative) parental leadership style. By 1960, Baumrid was affiliated with Berkeley’s Institute of Human Development, where she still directs the Family Socialization and Development Competence Project. She is known for her research on parenting styles and for her critique of deception in psychological research. Her parenting styles were based on two aspects of parenting that is found to be extremely important. The first was “Parental responsiveness”, which refers to the degree the parent responds to the child’s needs. The second was “Parental demandingness”, is the extent to which the parent

In this paper, I will examine how parenting style affects an individuals relationship with his or her children. According to Baumrind, there are four main parenting styles, differentiated on levels of support and expectations. This paper focuses on parents with high support and high expectations,who are known as authoritative parents and those who are supportive with low expectations, who are are permissive. These four different styles of parenting lead to very different developmental outcomes for children in social, academic and emotional domains. However, this model does not fully explain parent-child interactions because it neglects to reference the environmental context of the relationship along with any personal differences in temperament of the child. This context introduces complexity such as personality differences, age of child and marital status of the parents. This is an important topic to investigate because of the impact parenting style can have on developmental outcomes for both the immediate child and for future generations.
