Epidemiology Of Parenting

Temperament can be described as the natural mood disposition determined by genetics and biological influences and offer important clues about criminal behavior (Bartol & Bartol, 2011). Bartol and Bartol (2011) explain this with a real life example of how we approach our social environment and influences how the environment will interact back with us. This theory blossoms in correlation to a child’s up bringing and can be used to determine a child’s behavior later in life. The social environment can be created with a child’s involvement with their parents and their styles and boundaries growing up. So a parents approach to responding to a child’s behavior, nurturance and warmth will critically determine the parent-child relationship and may lead to more positive behaviors. Unfortunately, parental styles vary throughout all households and may predetermine a child’s temperament whether it be positive or negative. Children who display negative behaviors, low adaptability, and have high intensity are more likely to be antisocial later in life, which in

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).

A parent’s parenting styles are as diverse as the world we live in today. Nowadays, parents only want what is best for their children and their parenting styles plays a crucial role in the development of children which will in the long run, not only effect the child’s childhood years, but later prolong into their adult life as well.

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

An individual’s life and success is most dependent on their family environment and how they were raised. Good parenting is essential for a child’s educational and behavioral success and is a stressed trait throughout the world; however, in different cultures, good parenting can be defined and measured in many contrasting ways. In the United States, parenting and discipline methods have become controversial in the past fifty years, and the methods for raising children have drastically changed in some households.

see, and encourage, free thinking and unconventional behavior. They are reluctant to set rules or limits for fear of disturbing the natural desires of their offspring (47). Often times, children of permissive parents are manipulative. This is because the parents submit to their children if they act out. Children of permissive parents are impulsive, the children do not learn how to control themselves. Children brought up by this parenting style “do slightly worse in school during adolescence and are more likely to be aggressive and somewhat immature in their behavior with peers and in school”

The Psychology of Parenting Styles 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

Parents play the largest role in the overall development of children. During the early 1960’s, psychologist Diana Baumrind conducted experiments that were designed to identify and understand the different types of parenting. As a result of these studies, Baumrind concluded that there are four main styles of parenting, one of them being the authoritarian parenting style. In the studies, Baumrind claims that an authoritarian parent is defined as a parent who, “attempts to shape, control, and evaluate the behavior and attitudes of their children in accordance with a set standard of conduct, usually an absolute standard, theologically motivated or formulated by a higher secular authority” (Baumrind 127). Authoritarian

With over three hundred million Americans and over six billion people worldwide parenting skills are essential to maintain a healthy society. Parenting involves many aspects and requires many skills. It is a time to nurture, instruct, and correct to develop fundamental skills children will need to be mature, responsible, and contributing adults to a society. There are four commonly identified parenting styles; authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, and uninvolved parenting. Of the four parenting styles, two remain on opposite ends of the parenting spectrum. These two styles; authoritarian, and permissive both have deleterious results that are often visible throughout different developmental stages, such as rebellious behavior. As well

Children become aware that their feelings and desires are essential and must be accounted for. Growing up in a supportive environment enables children to form open and trusting relationships with their parents. However, sometimes parents fail to meet emotional or physical needs of their children. Through the failure of meeting the child’s need, eventually, leads to a more dysfunctional relationship. A dysfunctional family is where “the one in which the authority line between the parents and children is blurry,” (Keylon) usually occurring because of failed communication. Authoritarian parents are one of the more common factors for the existence of dysfunctional families. These type of parents “believe that children are, by nature, strong-willed and self-indulgent” (Darling). Authoritarians’ strictly follow their beliefs which can range from political, economic, personal, or religious. Therefore, these children are held to a much higher standard due to their parents’ level of strictness. Nothing less is allowed from the children. These authoritative parents tend to listen to their children’s arguments, but never change their minds. Additionally, the parents dominate and make decisions for the children (Benton). These children are mentally abused because of the lack of communication and emotional support. The emotional needs tend to shift moreover to the parents

It causes different types of personality with varied attachments. Under the authoritative parenting, children form secure attachment with their parents and these children are very care, responsible and confident; under the hands-off parenting, children form avoidance insecure attachment with their parent and these children are unconsciously cold, inward, and Isolated themselves to other people; under the permissive parenting, children form ambivalent insecure attachment with their parent and these children are not trusting, not responsible to other people; under the authoritarian parenting, children form disorganized insecure attachment with their parents and these children have abnormal, confusion, and slow in behaviors. Even though the limitation of parenting style is existing, parents always available to find out support to transfer their insecure attachment with their children to secure

This paper describes how authoritarian, authoritative and permissive parenting styles affects the behavior of children. There are negative and positive effects that these parenting styles have on the behavior that children develop. While initially this paper expresses the positive and negative effects, this paper will also give the most effective and successful parenting styles in terms of a higher positive youth development (PYD). Also, the parenting styles are tested by Lerner’s five C’s to show which parenting styles are more successful in showing higher PYD levels. Research suggests that children from specific types of parenting styles are more likely to have better attitudes towards education and rules. This indicates that children with certain types of parents may be

Different parenting styles, which include: permissive, uninvolved, authoritarian and authoritative, have different effects on children’s development and their future success and outcomes. Many parents do not realize how crucial parenting styles are on their child’s development and future. Some parents tend to seek alternative methods such as listening to music, and staying active during pregnancy in efforts of changing their child’s development and intelligence. However, after birth and during adolescence are the times when parents play a huge and crucial role in shaping their child’s development and intelligence. According to Turner, Chandler, and Heffer (2009), parenting styles have consistently been related to youth psychopathology, behavior

Introduction Parenting styles have been widely defined by Baumrind into three categories, authoritative, authoritarian and permissive. Parenting styles can be defined as a pattern of attitudes in how parents choose to express and communicate with their children. These styles are categorized based on the level of nurturance, parental control and level of responsiveness (Dwairy, 2004). Authoritative style exhibits high levels of demand, responsiveness and nurturance; authoritarian style exhibits high levels of demand but low levels of responsiveness, permissive style exhibits low levels of demand but high in responsiveness and nurturance (Dwairy, 2004). These parenting styles have been proposed to have a significant impact on a child’s

During early childhood development a key factor that influences our aspects of behavior is the type of parenting styles our parents used. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of parenting styles and college students academic achievement. Also to find out if parenting style would a valid predictor of children’s success. Thus, three types of parenting styles were measured those being authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive. These parenting styles were identified by using four dimension of parenting as identified by the college students, disciplinary strategies, warmth and nurturance, communication styles, and expectation of maturity and control. Academic success was measure using grade point average (GPA) of the college students. Analysis revealed that only authoritative parenting style had a correlation with students and high GPA.
