The Correlation Between Parenting Style And Child Behavior

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.

There are many different types of parents with diverse parenting styles in the world. Some are efficient in their ways, while others struggle to wonder why their child did not turn out to be everything they hoped. The controversial topic of whether the parent knows what is best for their child hangs over the reader’s head in Amy Chua’s article.

A parent is not only the loving mother who holds you close to her for nine months and then many years, or the father who plays baseball with you and intimidates his daughter’s dates.

A parent does not need to have any biological associations to the child in order to be a parent to them. A parent has certain characteristics who needs to be met to be justly named a parent.

What is the right way to parent? How do you determine whether a parenting style is the most beneficial to the development of children? There are many different parenting styles that range from a supportive parenting style to a authoritative style, but which parenting style allows children to develop themselves in a way that they can learn to adapt and communicate with authority figures effectively as they begin to advance in life? Soenens, Vansteenkiste, & Van Petegem (2015) study the relationship between children and parent’s behavior by applying the Self-Determination Theory (SDT), which talks about “the universally growth-promoting role of parenting that is perceived to support autonomy and the universal costs associated with parenting that is perceived as controlling (Soenens et al., 2015, pg.44). Soenens et al. (2015) focus primarily on two variables of parenting styles, support of autonomy and controlling parenting; one extreme versus the other extreme. The researchers believe that according to SDT, support of autonomy in children is more beneficial because it satisfies universal psychological needs such as acknowledging children’s views, provides significant meaning to the choices they make, and how to communicate rationally when introduced to rules and other types of policies.

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 has its roots deep in human ancestry. Parenting knowledge has been refined and passed down through generations since our earliest existence. The knowledge we gain from our predecessors may not be difficult to come by but most certainly was built over generations. Combine that with our innate knowledge of parenting including instinct, common sense, perception, emotion, memory and intuition, you would think it would be an easy task. Not so. Whilst the knowledge may be relatively simple, even with best intentions, successful parenting can never be guaranteed. Parenting is extremely complicated by opposing and competing variables, each with their individuality and uniqueness, situation and circumstance. Parenting knowledge is not even

Children are the future of the world and need to be nurtured and educated in the best conditions. Thus, parenting is one of the most challenging and admirable responsibilities that people can experience. Parenting plays important roles in the development of children’s characteristics.

As new generations form, we see different child behaviors as well as different parenting styles. Some can be admired while others may be highly negatively criticized. Many would agree that raising a child is not easy, and that finding the “best” discipline method is just as hard, but how does all this formulate? Parents, parents-to-be, or non-parents may all have desired characteristics or qualities for their future children. Some may desire their child to be obedient, respectful, and honest, while others may hope their child to be independent, intelligent, and have good manners. These desires can be considered as aspects of parents’ long term goals for their children. Variations in desired qualities for children can be seen among different ethnic groups. It is important to understand the variances in parent goals and desires among different ethnic groups to be able to distinguish the factors behind each and unique parenting style. Based on this area of focus it is hypothesized that desired qualities vary within cultures or ethnicities. Furthermore, it is also hypothesized that ethnic minorities will have desires or goals that are more family orientated, while the Caucasian majority group will have goals or values that are more individualistic.
