Two constructs of parenting are considered to discuss the association between the parents and the adolescent’s which may result into different consequences. The first is Demandingness and the second is Responsiveness (Baumrind, 1989, 1991; Maccoby & Martin, 1983). Demandingness defined as parental control, supervision and maturity demands in their parenting. Whereas responsiveness is defined as parents provision of emotional warmth and provision of support to their children and its acceptance by them.

There are three perspectives of social learning theory, attachment theory and parenting styles. Social learning theory was one of the greatest prominent models of parent-child relationships, and it was connected to the thoughts and outcomes of Bandura (Bandura, 1977). Social learning theory claims that the real life experience shape the behavior of the children directly and indirectly. If a child gets an instant reward for his behavior, like parental attention, care, support or approval, then the child will like to do the same behavior again, but if parents discounted or punished then the child will be less likely to do it
The role of nurturing parents in a family is an important factor that helps in the growing of personal independence and is the basis for emotional stability.
Albert Bandura’s theory of social learning suggests that children learn by observing people around. Parents are child’s first teachers and role models. Child’s cultural views and belief system is generally identical with his/her parents/carers.
Toro focuses on the significance of the relationship between parent and child and how parent styles are important in the developments of future romantic relationships. The author emphasizes to the general audience the importance of understanding parent-child attachments and the influences it has on potential future relationships because it demonstrates how significant a parents role is in influencing the welfare in their children’s future relationships. Toro attempts to convince that by understanding the importance of parent-child attachments and its influences, the knowledge gained could be used to counseling settings. A study is performed to demonstrate there is a correlation between the two and the absence of attachment anxiety. Within this study, author assumes that there is a relationship between parenting styles and parent-child attachment, it was predicted that when a child is raised with a healthy parenting style and a secure parent-child attachment, attachment anxiety would be absent within a relationship. Evidence, when study performed, clearly supported that secure parenting styles and authoritative parenting styles did account for an absence of attachment anxiety within a relationship. However, study performed was limited in having a variety of culture; attachment varies in each culture and due to this, study may have a limiting result and may not apply to a general population.
Healthy families foster environments of safety and relationships that are grounded on trust. One major factor in healthy family systems is positive parenting. Both Brooks (2014) and Feldman (2014) advocated the authoritative parenting as being the most beneficial for growing children. Generally within this style of parenting, Brooks noted that these types of parents provide emotional security and build up self-esteem in their children. Clear Rules are given, but they can be somewhat flexible and can come with explanations if the children would want to discuss the reasoning behind the rule (Brooks, 2013). Feldman explained that the environment that these parents create by parenting in this manner exudes warmth and support. Another factor in healthy family systems is that they lay the foundations for positive growth. Because open communication with the children is a common practice in this family life, the children are able to strengthen their communication and social skills (Brooks, 2013). Feldman supported that fact and added that with an environment that provides a strong sense of security, children are better able to make and maintain lasting relationships. With the safe, emotionally se...
All of the studies that were analyzed were given to young subjects. While we do need the relevancy of young children, we also need to see the effect of the parent and care-givers of the young children. As we all know, most thoughts and perceptions of children stem from their parent’s thoughts and perceptions. That is why it is absolutely vital for researchers to first study how children are taught and who better to show this than their parents.
What is parenting? Parenting has many different definitions depending who is asked, some might say it 's the highlight of their day while others may share how they regret or dread going home, but the real definition of Parenting is; the raising of a child by its parents, or the process of becoming a parent. It is stated within Wikipedia that, “Parenting or child rearing is the process of promoting and supporting the physical, emotional, social, financial, and intellectual development of a child from infancy to adulthood.” It also mentions that parenting is including the aspects of raising a child outside the biological relationship.
This highlights the importance of developing a strong parent child relationship and maintaining it even when it becomes difficult. Wilson again goes to extremes to make the effect that parents have on their child’s personalities as obvious as
A theory that can relate to today’s society and the way people behave is the attachment theory. It refers to the strong emotional and physical bond between an infant and a caregiver which is essential to personal development. As part of the attachment theory there are three attachment styles. First is secure which refers to the infant having a strong relationship with its caregiver, almost as if they seem to be clingy. Second is avoidant in where the child is negligent as the child has learned to be self sufficient. Then there is anxious or ambivalent, the state in where the infant is emotionally unsure about what to feel for the absence and presence of their caregiver. They can be clingy and self sufficient at times. The infant begins
Social Learning Theory can be defined as a theory that “specifies a complex explanation involving ever-present, on-going, reciprocal causal relationships between misconduct and social learning concepts” (Tittle, Antonaccio, & Botchkovar, 2012). Bandura’s Social Learning Theory express’s an individual’s unique adaptation to observe, imitate, and learn from one another. The basis of an individual’s learning comes early in age and can affect someone’s life depending on the outside factors that includes family or friends influencing decisions. Young children are affected tremendously by how their parents interact with one another and also how they interact with the child. Bandura states that learned behaviors that children adapt to are caused by positive and negative influences from parents (Cuevas & Bui, 2015). Social Learning Theory is used as a basis to determine why children grow up to have abusive relationships and a criminal lifestyle. Children are susceptible to retain and repeat what they have seen which can determine how they form as a person later on in life. If a child witnesses their dad abusing their mom, then the child believes that abuse is tolerable and portrays the same behavior throughout the child’s life. Social Learning Theory can be a never ending cycle of generations teaching their children positively or negatively depending on the environment the
In the previous study, Milevsky, Schlechter, Klem, and Kehl (2008) states that adolescence with either both parents are neglectful parenting style or one of the parent is neglectful parenting style score lower on self-esteem than adolescence without neglectful parenting style parent. In daily life, parents that let their children involve in making family decision lead their children to higher self-esteem level than parents that only want their children obey without giving any reason. Parents with authoritative parenting style are more flexible, openness to discussion and also willing to compromise toward their children. In a sample of 230 college student, Buri, Louiselle, Misukanis and Mueller (1988) found that

What does a typical morning look like at your home? Is everybody scurrying around to find lost items? Are you constantly yelling, "Hurry up and finish your cereal." "Get upstairs and brush your teeth." "Hurry up you're gonna miss the bus."?
A child goes through the cognitive, emotional, physical, social and educational growth from his birth to adolescence. These series of developmental stages are important to all aspects of their person-hood including physical, intellectual, emotional and social. Familial relationship has an important role in the character formation of a child. As a member of the family, a child is attached legally, emotionally and psychologically to his parents. Parent- child relationship influences the personality, emotional development and the behavioral habits of children. It is important for the overall development of children that parents must be there to support them and this support fosters confidence and growth on many areas. The changes in the family system like divorce, parent’s remarriage or death of parent etc. affects the child and his mental
Parents and their parenting style play an important role in the development of their child. In fact, many child experts suggest that parenting style can affect a child’s social, cognitive, and psychological development which influence not just their childhood years, but it will also extend throughout their adult life. This is because a child’s development takes place through a number of stimuli, interaction, and exchanges that surround him or her. And since parents are generally a fixed presence in a child’s life, they will likely have a significant part on the child’s positive or negative development (Gur 25).
“Parenting is both a biological and a social process” Lerner, Castellino, Terry, Villarruel & McKinney (1995); Tobach & Schneirla(1968) states that…(as cited in Lerner & Brennan). Parents can develop and bring about positive influences in the behavioral and mental development of their children through appropriate parenting. The role of parents is of fundamental importance for the healthy growth of children. Research has revealed that adolescence periods can be broken down into three stages such as a) early adolescence (from approximately age 10 – 13) b) middle adolescence (ages 14 - 17) and c) late adolescence (ages 18 22), (Kopko). Parenting during adolescence is crucial as the child normally undergoes significant mental, social emotional
