Comparing Two Parenting Styles

Parenting styles have been described as the collection of parents’ behaviors which create an atmosphere of parent-child interaction across situation (Mize and Petit, 1997). Darling and Steinberg (1993) defined parenting style as “a constellation of attitudes toward the child that are communicated to the child and that, taken together, create an emotional climate in which the parents’ behaviors have expressed.” Despite these challenges, researchers have uncovered convincing links between parenting styles and the effects these styles have on children. There are different styles of parenting: authoritative, authoritarian and permissive.

The parent allows the child to regulate his or herself as much as possible and if expectations are not met punishments rarely follow. Also the little rules and regulation as well as everything else is thoroughly explained and discussed with the child. Overall if the child disagrees, he/she is often accommodated and given what they want (Dewar, 2014). Located roughly in the middle of these two styles lies authoritative parenting. Authoritative parenting is an even balance of authoritarian and permissive. Authoritative styles have many rules and regulations and overall expectations of the child. Typically, the rules are discussed with the child and if believed to be fair, are negotiable. If expectations have not been met, the child will be spoken to and have the situation explained on how to improve for future events (Gwen Dewar, 2014). Punishments do exist in this style but rather than making the child fear them, they are given punishments to “remember and learn”. As opposed to authoritarians’ the child will be allowed to state his opinion and is given the opportunity to question things.

Explain the specific impact parenting styles have on two issues related to child development. Examples include: obesity, resiliency, social-deviance, self-esteem, school performance, cognitive flexibility, and emotional intelligence.

We will evaluate our group in the beginning to see how much they know and understand about

The child behaviors and related parenting styles for the secure type of attachment is about 60-65% of 1 year old in our society, and 55% or more in the many other societies that have been studied, are securely attached to their mothers or primary caregivers. Ainsworth and Bowlby said that the securely attached infant stays close and continuously monitors the caregivers whereabouts (proximity maintenance), retreats to her for comfort if needed (safe haven), resist and is distressed by operations from her (separation distress), and explores happy as long as she is pregnant and attentive (secure base).

            In this paper I will be looking at multiple popular parenting styles found and studied in psychology. There are four common parenting styles found in most homes which include, Permissive, Authoritarian, Neglecting, and Authoritative. I will be defining only two of these styles, and giving examples of actions found in each, discussing the outcomes as well as, identifying which parenting style is most recommended for parenting. And how we as Christians view this topic as well.

Parenting styles can be highly impressionable on their children. There are various styles of parenting, and each style can have different effects on the child or adolescent. The four parenting styles that can be implemented in the household are recognized as: authoritarian, neglectful, permissive, and authoritative. All four of these styles carry their own unique characteristics, and have some distinct features. Whichever style a parent decides is best to use for their child can have multiple short and long-term effects, so it is best to look at each style and find the one that works best. 

What goes through your head when someone asks,”How did you discipline your children?” Parents will either lead in one of three ways: strict discipline, mild discipline, or no discipline at all. No matter how a parent disciplines their children, there will be complications in a home, but when parents can no longer be “parents” due to others trying to step in and control their style of parenting, that is where a problem comes up. There are people who think that spanking a child is wrong and harmful to the child, and will harm the child psychologically as well. There are people who believe that the only way to influence good behavior is to be their friend; a parent has to be a friend and a mentor in order to create a positive outcome. This

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

One of the major roles of a parent is to correctly discipline their child to teach them what is right, what is wrong, and that they aren’t the boss. The most traditional ways of showing children they aren’t in control include: paddling (or any other object used to strike), slapping, pinching, whipping, and spanking. Parents use these methods to show dominance and that they are the authority figure of the household. Spanking is by far the most commonly used method amongst parents in today’s society. It gives parents the ability to instantly correct misbehavior and further show their children what is and isn’t accepted. Creating better behavior in the future and making the child less likely to continue the bad acts. It is even stated in the Bible Proverbs 22:15 “Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him”. However, there are much better ways of discipline that don’t include physical touch, and they can still show the child you are in charge and have the

Each family has a different parenting style, there are also many ways of loving each other for their little baby but the over protective from parents are what their children really want. When a child grows up unsuccessful in life and always depressed with a lot of negative thoughts, it is possible that the result of a parent's behavior in the past. In this life, if it has the hardest thing to say, it is probably parenthood. It's not just raising a man, it's about cultivating a soul. In fact, in order to influence the development of a child, many factors need to be taken into account, from the socioeconomic conditions in which the child lives, the environment and the level of education of the parents. There is no parenting method that is eligible

Although authoritative and authoritarian parenting styles sound similar, they are different approaches with very different outcomes. “Authoritarian parents are highly demanding and directive, but not responsive” (Darling, 1999). They expect their children to be obedient. These parents want their children to have strict rules and live in well-ordered environments. “Authoritarian parents want their children to agree with their decisions, principles and goals without any questions” (Baumrind, 1989). They are highly psychologically controlling. They also use physical punishment such as spanking or slapping. On the other hand, authoritative parents are approachable. They are assertive, but not restrictive. They discipline children by supporting

For quite some time now, the question on how to correctly raise children has been debated intensely. The two most popular parenting styles are extremely opposite, so controversy is bound to rise. These two styles are known as “Western” and “Chinese”, and each one has significant supports saying their respective style is superior. The Chinese style is seen as a no nonsense approach and has even been dubbed the “tiger” style due to its strict and harsh nature. On the other hand, the Western style offers a free-flowing environment where parents are more relaxed with the handling of their children. Both parenting styles are distinct and share extremely opposing views. Amy Chua is a significant supporter for the chinese parenting style as she has even wrote a book titled Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother along with an article named “Why Chinese Mothers are Superior”. Chua has experience with the chinese parenting style as she was raised by it and now she is raising her own children through it. One opposer of Amy Chua is Hannah Rosin, an editor for the Atlantic and the standard for western parenting style. Rosin writes an article named “Mother Inferior”, which is a response to Chua’s work. Although Amy Chua’s parenting style may seem to provide better results for the parents, Hanna Rosin parenting style is more beneficial for all parties involved for a couple of reasons. One being the fact that children often struggle handling pressure at such a young age. The other is the belief
