Given the circumstances, the parents of Michael have a number of ways to handle the current situation. This paper will outline the four main ways that they could do so. The first paragraph will describe how an authoritarian parenting would handle the situation, and how that would effect Michael. In the second paragraph, I will do the same as I did in the first, but from the authoritative perspective. This trend of analyzing how the parenting style will affect the child will continue for the next two paragraphs, the third paragraph covering permissive, and the fourth covering uninvolved/disengaged. In my conclusion, I will review which on would best fit the situation.
First, in viewing the situation through the perspective of authoritarian

They would likely have similar rules to that of the authoritarian, but would also allow the rules to be flexible. They would handle instances of rule breaking in more of a case by case situation. This means that instead of banning the movie based on it's rating, would look and see if the was alright for Michael to view. If it was a documentary that had a higher rating, the might permit it. This style of parenting allows for control, but also allows for the child do develop on their own and become more independent.
If Michael's parents take the permissive viewpoint, then they would almost assuredly say yes, and then watch it with him. Permissive parents remain heavily involved in their child's life, similar to that of authoritarian. However, they are far less strict, allowing their child to do whatever they please. This can result in the child feeling entitled, and cause complications later in life when their parent's aren't there to give them whatever they want.
Uninvolved parent's would not need Michael to ask if he can rent the mature rated movie. As the name implies, uninvolved parents' just do not care one way or the other. This can result in the child growing up with a lack of a feeling of
Precious’ mother exhibit’s extremely authoritarian parenting style and some aspects of neglectful parenting. Her authoritarian parenting comes in the form of her need to always be in control and exerts that control on Precious. She always wants things to be done her way and does not give precious a chance to have a say in anything. She tells Precious she should not go to school but rather rely on welfare checks. She wants precious to cook for her whenever she wants. She does not show any warmth or affection for Precious or her two
In the early 1960s, psychologist Diana Baumrid conducted a research, analyzing child-parent behavior, seeking to identify parenting styles. The Baumrid study and other further studies identified four main styles of parenting (Miller, 2010): the authoritative parenting style was characterized by fair rules and consequences; The Authoritarian parenting style was characterized by strict rules and harsh punishment; the permissive parenting style was characterized by minimal rules with little or no consequences; the uninvolved parenting style was characterized by no rules, and parent presence was almost non-existent. In this paper, I’m going to look at the authoritarian style of parenting in an attempt to draw out its characteristics and its immediate and later impacts on children impact.
The authoritative parenting style is the “In between,” of both the authoritarian and permissive parenting styles, and has a “Give and take approach.” Authoritative parents are very involved in their children’s lives: children help around the home and in decision-making processes, and homework is supervised. This approach to parenting raises children who are responsible, well behaved in school, have a high self-esteem, and good problem solving skills along with decision making skills. The authoritative approach to parenting has very positive effects on children’s lives presently, and in the future. (Marsiglia, C.,Walczyk, J., Buboltz, W., Ross, D. 2007).
The front door squeaks close. One’s child arrived home at 1:00 AM, but was instructed to be home at 10:00 PM. That child came home with his parents waiting on the stairs with hands on their waists. His parents yelled at the boy for twenty minutes and had all electronic devices taken away from him, but the parents needed to first understand what their children did, and how he could have solved the problem. Families shouldn't feel upset and ignore their children because they broke a rule; they should sit down with their child and listen to what they have to say. It’s important for a child to recognize what they did and give them options on how they want to resolve them. Throughout this unit, many parenting styles were presented, including Baumrind's
When people read or watch The Notebook, they automatically relate it to the concept of romance, young love, but more than anything true love. This story has a Romeo and Juliet contrast, but nevertheless also brings out many psychological concepts that play an important role in the story. Yet, many people seem to ignore these concepts and decide to pay much more attention to Allie and Noah’s love struggles. The following paper will be describing as well as highlighting psychological concepts The Notebook contained. From Alzheimer’s disease to parenting styles and the theory of love, The Notebook has been capturing the attention of millions of true love believes all around the world. Reality is, the film also captures daily
Many psychologists throughout history have indulged in studies related to parenting behavior and how children are affected from such behavior. The work of Diana Baumrind, which is considered to be one of the most influential and well-studied theories of parenting behavior, was the first to identify three styles of parenting (Sclafani 44). These styles of parenting are called authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive. This paper will further explain descriptions of these styles and the typical behaviors of children as a result of each style. This paper will also provide insight on the parenting style I was raised on along with my thoughts on types of discipline I might use in the
relationship between the child and parent. When children are under the pressure of strict rules, they
After witnessing the many adventures of the Walls’ family through the context of The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, I have noticed the parenting styles they use can be best described as Uninvolved using the four lens’s from the article “Parenting Styles: What they are and why they Matter’’. The four lens’s provided about parenting are: Permissive, Authoritative, Authoritarian, and Uninvolved. Permissive parents are friendly towards their kids and have a free range of limits for them, Authoritative parents have clear rules and guidelines that they like you to follow but don’t heckle you if you make a mistake. The other two types differ from the other two styles because Authoritarian parents are known as ‘’Punishers’’ with high demands, while Uninvolved parents are neglectful and not there
Authoritarian is only one of three parenting styles that Baumrind details. The other two styles include authoritative and permissive. These two variations in parenting styles were seen in the way my relatives and friends’ parents approached parenting. I observed how the parents of my close friend handled parenting. They maintained control over aspects in my friend’s life like school and chores but allowed the freedom to make decisions in areas of social activities. The most striking difference between my parents and my friend’s is the use of reasoning and the expression of warmth. Her parents provided justification behind their commands and or punishments while maintaining a sense of love and affection. The bond and love that is evident between my friend and her parents is not as strong in the relationship between my parents and me. The style that her parents exhibit is known as authoritative because of their focus on some parental control, use of reasoning and warmth. While on the other hand, my cousins raised their children in a completely different manor using a permissive parenting style. While they provide obvious love and affection towards their children, they fail to exert control and regulations. They did not have any real sense of rules in their household. Their children tend to act and do whatever they wanted with little to no repercussions.
The family members express respect for each other. The parents and children in this family are viewed as individuals who work, attend school and have separate lives. There is no evidence of violence in this family. Physical punishment is not used as a form of discipline. A time-out period is usually given to allow a bad behavior to end and to contemplate the behavior (Clark, 2003). Removal of privileges such as not going outside with a friend, or not watching a certain television show is sometimes used to discipline. This type of discipline is appropriate for the school aged child who values his friends and his free time.
The first style of parenting is authoritarian parenting. In this style, the parent is more boss. They require their children obey their roles. they control their children all the time.
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.
The next parenting style is authoritarian. Authoritarian parents are high in demandingness but low in responsiveness. If Michael had authoritarian parents, they would respond to him renting an M-rated video game by saying “No!” with no explanation. In the parent’s response, demandingness is expressed in the no without an explanation and the responsiveness is expressed by showing no love or warmth towards their son. The third parenting style is permissive.
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 parenting style in the home will result in differences in the children’s behavior. For example, an authoritarian parent is controlling, punitive and strict. Their rules are not flexible and do not tolerate expressions of disagreement. These
