Influence of Nuclear Family to Development of Antisocial Behaviour

According to psychologist Diana Baumrind, there are four different parenting styles: authoritarian, permissive, uninvolved, and authoritative. (p. 339) Authoritarian parenting is a strict form of parenting that demands obedience and respect, but offers little support. Children of authoritarian parents often do not have a healthy relationship with their parents due to the lack of communication. Permissive parents are known as the “cool” parents among adolescents. This parenting style is relaxed and comes with hardly any rules. Permissive parents have a very warm relationship with their child; however, this style is counterproductive in child rearing because they act as a friend instead of a parent who sets boundaries. Uninvolved parenting is the most detrimental to a child’s psychological health. Uninvolved parents are indifferent to their child’s activities, emotional state, and overall well-being. They are neglectful and even reject their children from being a part

The four primary parenting styles are Authoritarian, Permissive, Authoritative, and Uninvolved parenting styles. Authoritarian parents are very controlling and strict with their children. They expect obedience form their children and don’t tolerate expressions of disagreement. In contrast, Permissive parents are more relaxed and provide inconsistent feedback. They require little of their children and don’t see themselves as responsible for their children’s behavior. They also don’t set limits or control over their children. Authoritative parents are firm and set clear and consistent limits for their children. While they tend to be strict they show love and emotional support for them as well. These parents tend to reason with their child as to why they should behave a certain way. These parenting styles also encourage the child to be independent. The fourth parenting style is uninvolved parenting style. These parents show interest in their children and display indifferent or rejecting behavior towards them. They detach emotionally and only see themselves as providers of materials goods such as shelter, food, and clothing.

Concept 2 - Parenting Styles There's three parenting styles there's authoritarian, authoritative, and permissive. An authoritarian parent is someone who is strict, imposing many rules and not nurturing. An authoritative parent is someone who is allowing discussion with the kids, placing limits and nurturing. An permissive parent is someone who is inconsistent with few rules and very loving. For me, my mothers parenting style is authoritative, she can be strict, being not too

The permissive parenting style is one in which the parents care for their child, yet they don’t set rules or discipline their child. This parenting style is high in nurturance and low in maturity demands, control, and communication. According to Joseph Sclafani, a child psychologist,:

There is not one set way when it comes to parenting and how parents rise their child or children. A psychologist named Diana Baumrind, studied different parenting styles and their effect on child rearing. She came up with three types of parenting styles: authoritative authoritarian, and permissive. Then a fourth parenting style was added by Maccoby and Martin later on uninvolved parenting (Cherry, 2014). I will explain these different styles on the effect they have on a child weather a young child or adolescence.

If the environment they are living in is negative, lots of conflict within the family home then this is likely to have an adverse effect on the child’s development.

According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, a nuclear family can be described as a group of people who are united by ties of partnership and parenthood, consisting of a pair of adults and their socially recognized children (Encyclopedia Britannica, 2015). Because most children are most exposed to their parents in this manner, the nuclear family is regarded as the basic social unit where a child learns adult conduct. Based on Freud’s psychoanalytic theory, the way an adult perceives life is determined by the experiences the person had as a child (Moynihan, 1965). Consequently, the stability of a child’s nuclear family can have a large impact on their subsequent behavior as they age.

As I was reading through our course textbook, “Psychology: An Exploration,” by Saundra K. Ciccarelli and J. Noland White and listening through class lectures over the course of the semester, I found the topic on parenting styles in chapter 8 to be very interesting. I found it to be interesting because I can think on many life situations as a child that applies to this concept very easily, which I never realized before. There are three different types of parenting styles. The first style is called authoritarian parenting. Authoritarian parenting is a style when the parent constantly demands rules on their children and nothing other than rules. In our textbook it is stated that, “this type of parent is stern, rigid, demanding perfection, controlling, uncompromising” (Ciccarelli, White, 2013). An authoritarian parent is one that expects their child to obey their rules or else they would get punished; as I would say this style of parenting is when the parent believes, “is either their way or the highway.” The second style of parenting is called permissive parenting. Permissive parenting is the complete opposite style of authoritarian parenting. They are parents that have absolutely no rules in their household. Permissive parents are normally portrayed as parents that could careless about the concept of parenting. Permissive parents believe that without given rules and demands to their children, their children will be the happiest. This style can also, indicate neglectfulness

The nuclear family is a term used to define a family group consisting of aheterosexual pair of adults; wife and husband, and their children. It can also be known as a ‘beanpole family’ and it can be, especially in middle-class families, child-centered; child-centered is defined as being actively involved by spending lots of time together as the child's needs and wishes are the most important thing.

They focus on enforcing rules but explaining the reason and importance for specific rules. This type of parenting uses discipline such as time out or loss of privileges, but will do so without losing control or being condescending to the child. The third type of parenting style is the Permissive parent this type of parenting allows the children to do as they wish without fear of any punishment or discipline. The parent and child have

There are four types of parenting styles that we’ve learned during this course and they are authoritarian, authoritative, permissive and uninvolved. All of these parental styles are different such as an authoritarian is a type of parent that establishes rules and expects children to follow them without exceptions and believes

These parents are mostly opened to suggestions and the child is usually in control of parent. These parents tend to avoid confrontation by any means necessary. The great benefit of that parenting style is that they are usually very nurturing and loving and will do anything to make their child happy. The negatives, of this parenting style however, over power that benefit. Because only a few rules are set for the children of permissive parents, and the child feel as if the rules do not exist.

The permissive style of parenting is rather fascinating. The typical permissive parent tends to be relaxed, and does not require much of the child. A permissive parent is pretty non-confrontational as they attempt to avoid arguments, or any other sort of confrontation. However, there are some pros to this style of parenting. For example, a typical permissive parent can tend to be quite loving towards their child. However, the fact that there are not many rules set in place for the child and the child is free to do as they please. There is a major lack of structure, and the child does not learn concepts of discipline very efficiently. Children require a sense of structure in their environment. Unfortunately, one of the long-term effects of permissive parents can be that children who grew up with permissive parents tend to be more likely to engage in detrimental activities such as underage drinking.

The three main parenting styles are authoritarian, permissive and authoritative. There can be some times where a parenting style is better than another but another thing is that some things can’t work out at all either way. An authoritarian style is when parents are strict. An authoritative style are loving and film parents. Also an permissive style is parents that don't want to set up rules for their kids or set up any punishments.

The next parenting style is permissive parenting. These parents are warm. Although they are warm they are not involved with their children and their activities. They also don’t have control of the behavior of their children. These parents do not have many rules and allow their children to do what they want to do, whenever they want to do it. “Their children eat meals and go to bed when they feel like it and watch as much television as they want” (Berk 389). In the book Infants, Children and Adolescents it mentions that these children become disobedient. It mentions that they do poorly in school, have more antisocial behaviors, become dependent, and are rebellious.
