Taking a Look at Different Parenting Styles

This generation is much different from when I was brought up. I did not have a cell phone or computer and television in my room to take away. I and my two siblings turned our pretty good, but we knew growing up if we got into any trouble we would get spanked. Nowadays if this happens, some parents are considered abusing their children. I do not have children, but I do know it takes patients to be one. I have seen the way my sister and brother has disciplined their children and they are both similar. After research, I have found an authoritative parent would be the best approach out of indulgent, authoritarian, and uninvolved. This is due to the other parenting styles having a much more history of the child developing a psychological disorder;

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.

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

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

Developmental psychologist have been very interested in parent’s styles and how they impact on the development. During the early 1960s, psychologist Diana Baumrind conducted a study, she put the study on 100 preschool-age children (Baumrind, 1967).However, Baumrind found that actual cause and the effect links between the

Parenting style is one of many factors that strongly influence child development. One’s choice of parenting style is most often molded by their cultural background. American parents use a myriad of parenting styles, all of which have their roots in various cultural beliefs about which method is best to raise a child. In 1971, clinical and developmental psychologist, Diana Baumrind, recognized three different categories of parenting styles that she believed described most parents’ methods (Berger, 2011). Parents who fell into the authoritarian style of parenting set high standards and strict rules for their children. Disobedience was not tolerated and was met

Imagine your 16-year-old daughter wants to attend a Friday night high school party, and you do not know who will be attending. Using three parenting styles discussed in the lesson, how would an authoritarian parent respond? A democratic parent? A permissive parent?

Given the diverse cultures that can shape parenting behavior, some basic assumptions regarding the links between parenting styles and developmental outcomes may not be universal. Much research has been conducted on the different parenting styles across cultures. There are also many myths about which parenting style is the best or the most beneficial to the social development of children. Reviewing past literature on this subject matter reveals that the authoritarian parenting style produced more overt aggression and many more social interaction difficulties among young children. Recent research point to the theory that the best parenting style is dictated by the culture in which it is practiced.

Another concept that relates to Jose experience of immigrating to the United States, is parenting styles. Parenting styles refers to ways in which parents raise their children. This means parents’ level of rules, expectations, demands, and the style of discipline that the parent’s develop to impose their expectations. According to Canary and Canary (2013), there are three types of parenting styles. First, authoritative parenting, it involves warmth, low negativity, monitoring, and reasonable control. Secondly, disengaged parenting, it involves moderate negativity, low monitoring, low control, and low positivity. Thirdly, authoritarian parenting, it involves high levels of conflict, monitoring, control attempts, and little positively (p.67). Parenting styles relates to Jose experience because his parents raise Jose in an

As parents guide their young children from complete infantile dependence into the beginning stages of independence, their influences can have both immediate and lasting effects on children’s development in certain areas. Ensuring the best possible outcome for children requires parents to face challenges of balancing the maturity and discipline they make to incorporate their children into the family and social system with maintaining an atmosphere of warmth, responsiveness and support. When parent conduct and attitude during the preschool years do not reflect an appropriate balance on these spectra, children may face a multitude of adjustment issues. What parenting styles best achieve this balance?

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.

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.

Parenting styles, Psychologist Diana Baumrid (1991,2005) stated that during the first few years of life that’s when a child learn the basis of life and that stays with them through adulthood.

After conducting the interviews for this assignment, it is evident that parenting styles do have at least slight influences not only on how a child develops, but also on the quality of attachment a child develops with their parent or another caretaker. These interviews consist of a parent for each parenting style, so that the information could be taken into account from the various perspectives of the differing styles. For example, Cheryl, the mother of two 16 year-olds, can be seen as an authoritarian parent, who has strict goals for her children with very little room for compromise in terms of meeting those goals. She says that her two teenagers sometimes hide things from her, which can potentially be due to how strict and rigid she is with

Parenting types and parenting styles are defined by Schroeder & Mowen (2012) "as the attitudes, behaviors, and interaction styles that, when taken together, create an emotional context in which socialization efforts and family interactions can occur" (pg.229). This time when socialization is occurring it gives parents the opportunity to develop a well emotionally grounded
