Similarities And Differences Of Changing Parenting Styles

Parents are generally responsible for nurturing their children. They therefore encourage their children to behave properly. They nurture them carefully from birth to adolescence to inculcate moral values and raising them to respect their elders and themselves (Advameg, 2016). They also encourage them to be obedient, teach them the right from wrong and make them informed about the importance of higher education. An ideal “good” child is expected to conform to social expectations, be obedience to adults, and be devoted to religion.

I think so many factors influence parenting. I would like to start this off with one of the most important factors I think that influence parenting, and that is having a child unplanned and not being ready for it versus planning for a child and being ready for it.

Parenting a child from infant to the adult stage is a full-time responsibility that every parent takes on. The type of style used to socialize their children to conform adequately to the expected standards of conduct to function successfully in their society is the option that is decided by each parent. Since there are different ways of parenting a child, it is the parent’s responsibility to ensure that the child’s behavior is sufficient to live in society let alone act compliant in it as well. It is interesting to observe the different methods that a variety of parents demonstrate in order to make sure that the children of that society will be considered ‘acceptable’ by the environment itself and of course by the parenting

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

Parenting children is probably the most important, difficult, and thankless job in existence. I should know, I am the father of two girls; one is 27 years old and the other is 25, and now a grandfather as well. I have heard many people say things like: “I raise my kids the way I my parents raised me” (while complaining about the things that their parents’ did), “I am doing the best that I can” (then learn to do better), and “children should be seen and not heard” (This was my father’s favorite). Nobody seems to know the perfect way to raise children; is there a perfect way?

Parenting Styles play an important role in the development of a child in fact research has revealed that parenting Styles can influence a child's social cognitive social growth with effects children both in the childhood years and as an adult this is because children develop throughout a number of stimuli interactions and exchange with what's surrouning them the fact that parents are regularly around a child's life will influence him or her and a negative or positive way,

It is believed by some individuals, the rules that parents make for their children determines the productivity of the adult. While on the other hand, it is said that it’s not what you say but what do, for example the expression [money see, monkey do]. One of the most influential tools that humans use are in observation and mimicry. However, children do learn from a young age that how their parents act in public, is not necessarily how they act at home. Parents try to talk a child into good behaviour, but the behaviour of the parents will be the strongest influence. The children will model themselves after their parents whether it is in positive behaviour or negative. Even though parents are a strong influence on a child this is only for a short period of time, which then can be taken over by the child’s peers (Wilkof,

During my upbringing, the parenting style that I have experienced would be the authoritarian and authoritative style. In life, my parents have been strict at times but lenient at most times. My parents have been the type to let me be free, because I was raised to be respectful towards others. Through junior high, my parents were very strict about what I did. In my home we had security and cameras. My parents didn’t like many of the people that came over to our home. There were times my parents let me go out and have fun but I had to have my homework done. I wasn’t antisocial in school but withdrawn. I wouldn’t blame it on my parents because I hated hanging around with friends. I thought the decision most of my peers made were pretty ridiculous.

In the recent years, There has a significant work and studies in the field of parenting and raising children. Many social workers and researchers had been putting a lot of efforts and conducting plenty of studies to find the best methods for parents to raise happy successful kids. Today’s fast paced life and the long work hours had left parents with very little time for their children. However, studies have shown the many negative effects on the kids’ personality and how important it is for caregivers to be with their kids and nurture them. Alice Sterling Honig in her article Raising Happy Achieving Children in the New Millennium talked about how it is a crucial matter for parents to spend enough time with their children, especially in their early years. Communication between children and parents is also very important, although many parents don’t understand that. For instance, when a kid does something wrong parents should talk about why did he do it and why it is wrong, not just send him to his room or spank him. Teaching toddlers and preschoolers that are still discovering the world around them can very challenging, that’s why parents need to have a lot of patience while dealing with little kids, and help them learn right from wrong. Parenting is not about how to be perfect, there is no such thing as a perfect parent or the perfect kid, there will be mistakes from both sides. Therefore caregivers need to focus on how to teach morals and values to their kids, show them

Diana Baumrind, a clinical and developmental psychologist who is known for her work on parenting styles, broke down parenting styles into three types: Authoritarian, permissive, and Authoritative parents. Authoritarian parenting ensures to control, shape, and value the conduct and manners of the children. This conduct matches the standards of conduct the parents believe is the right one. If any misbehavior occurs, it will result in drastic measure for it not to happen

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 strengths. All parents incorporate love and

Parenting styles vary from different cultures, upbringings, and backgrounds. The value of parenting can be more essential than the amount of time spent with the child. Through the different kinds of parenting, a child’s character can be built upon. Hence, the parent is the first and intimate influencer in the child’s early developmental stages. Two significant parenting styles I have observed from parents in the mall.

The Article studies the correlation between the types of attachment and the parenting styles that are linked to them. The attachment between the child and the primary caregiver becomes a basis for all future relationships throughout adulthood. This is called the ‘working model’ and it dictates our future behavior in peer relationships, romantic relationships and more especially our chosen parenting styles.

In Generation 3, parenting practices might have been influenced by culture. Culture influences the parenting practices in various ways. Today, expectations that parents have on the behaviour of their children are similar in different cultures. For instance, all cultures require children to be honest, do well in school, and be respectful, polite among others. Some cultures, however have additional expectations. For instance, American and Indian fathers feel that their children should have a spiritual foundation, while Asians believe that children should have self-control (Kotchick, & Forehand, 2002). Additionally, a parent’s daily activities also influence their child rearing practices.

The family system and parents are generally regarded as one of the most powerful forces in shaping adolescents. Parents have a great influence in the development of adolescents. The relationship of the parents largely effect the development of adolescents and is an important factor when looking at development. Well-adjusted adolescents tend to have intact families that are supportive and create a warm and loving environment with constant monitoring of behavior. The review examines the current research on adolescent development and how it is effected by parenting styles. Taking into account the changes that occur over time to parents this review shows the fluidity of parenting styles and the stressors that cause those changes.
