Personal Narrative: The Authoritarian Parenting Style

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.

Tyler who’s now 5 was told to pick up his toys before dinner, he has not done so and is throwing a tantrum because he said it too much work.

Picture yourself in a gas station and across from you stands a man and his son. The son is yelling and kicking on the ground. Everyone in the gas station is observing the son’s awful behavior and that the dad’s frustration level is rising. How can the little boy be taught that this type of behavior is not tolerated? Many parents would be compelled to take their kid home and use strict punishment to discipline their behavior.

There are many subcultures that I consider myself a member of. Everything from Hip Hop culture, to regional, sports, and theater culture. However, there is one area that consists of countless members all over the world who share common phobias, beliefs, behaviors, and attitudes. That subculture is the world of parenting. When I became a parent my views on many things changed. Things like; television programming, to finances and time management. Someone speeding in my neighborhood did not have the same effect on me as it does now that I am a parent. Moreover, the mindset of a parent is one that is rarely understood by non-parents. For instance, when my son was born I felt a sense of overwhelming fear and an undying need to provide protection

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.

My mom used the authoritative parenting style. She was warm and accepting. She was very involved in my activities. She would come to all my school events and plays. My

Give adolescents a chance to establish their own identity, personality, and independence, is it essential to help them establish their own place in the world and find out who they truly are. They are four types of parenting style, Authoritative, Authoritarian, Permissive and Uninvolved parents. But today one will be covering is the authoritarian style.

My parenting style did not vary that much, I still provide Ayan with resources and with the support that she requires to thrive and develop. Aryan is 10yrs old now, and she can express herself clearly, So I try to realize her strength to show her how far she come. For example, Ayan is continuing to be a strong reader, and always seems to have a fiction book she is understanding. Thus, I encourage her by reading the same books as Aryan, and converse about some of funnier or more interesting in the book. I also try to see an Ayan’s weakest point so I can pull her up. For example, Music is the solitary thing that Aryan has a difficult time with. I do encourage Ayan to explore other Music, thinking that she may perform better at others. This

The less content, insecure, apprehensive, less affiliative with peers, and more likely to be hostile under pressure children had parents that displayed a more authoritarian style of parenting. That these parents were less nurturing, less involved, offered little reasoning behind decisions, were very firm, expected obedience without question, discouraged expression, and appeared more frightening to their children were given the authoritarian

I will reflect on my own experiences to address this journal. My inmediate family consisted of both of my parents and two siblings (I was the second and middle one). Our family was of a low-socioeconomic status. Nevertheless, we lived in a relatively good neighborhood. My parents, in particular my father used an authoritarian parenting style to raise us. The authoritarian parenting style is a restrictive pattern of parenting in which adults set many rules for their offspring, demand strict obedience, and rely on authority rather than rationale to elicit compliance (Shaffer & Kipp, 2010); physical punishment and other methods of physical discipline are frequently used as means of correction (Secombe, 2011). Nevertheless, it must be said that such practices were common during my upbringing (1970’s to 1980’s). Even

Parenting is one of the most challenging yet rewarding experiences in an adult’s life. Parents can greatly affect their children’s behavior and development. Children are like sponges, they soak up everything they see a parent do and model what they see into their own lives and actions. It is important that parents are good examples and set high standards for their children. Negative examples can be harmful to a child’s development and will usually lead to bad behavior. Baumrind, who studied parenting styles during the early 1960s, concluded that there is four important areas: parental nurturance, discipline strategy, communication skills, and maturity. Incorporating these areas, she posted four types of parenting styles: authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, and neglectful.

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

The most effective style when it comes to parenting is authoritative style. They produce children that are well rounded and can handle whatever life throws at them. They seem to be very outspoken and have good self-esteem. I have seen all four parenting styles first hand. I was raised by an authoritarian parent and her mother was an authoritarian mother. I have eight steps brothers, seven stepsisters and I am the youngest. Five of my brothers ended up in prison. I believe it was because of how we were raised. They always thought people owed them something. Three of them drank themselves to death. My sisters don’t get along. We don’t trust each other. My aunt had this thing about children should be seen and not heard. But with me, she didn’t

For years, a great divide has existed between students who achieve great academic success and those who fall behind in classes, and as a result, end up failing classes, or even worse, dropping out of school. As a result of this, laws such as No Child Left Behind have been passed to bridge this gap, but this has still not kept students from failing classes, as no law goes to the root of the problem in this situation. The root of the problem in regards to why some students fall behind while others prosper could potentially be due to a number of factors, including the nature of the parent-child relationship. Whereas highly supportive parents could help a child see his or her potential as being high, and thus help them succeed in the classroom, a parent who is mean to a child, and in turn hurting their self-esteem, could result in a child not doing so well. Conversely, parents who allow their children to do as they please without much, or any, discipline could lead to
