Have you ever just sat back and wondered how others view your parents? Parents are often stereotyped by how they choose to parent their children. Parents take on much responsibility when they bring a little life into the world, and they have to choose how to parent their children early. The type of discipline parents use has a dramatic effect on a child’s development. Most parents are categorized into one of four categories, but some parents sometimes do not fit into just one category. They are considered strict, average, lenient or the uninvolved parent. These various approaches to parenting can influence a child’s mood and temperament long into their adulthood. Strict parents are parents who often establish the rules and do not allow any …show more content…
These type of parents are considered the “average” parent. These parents often explain the reasoning behind their rules and are willing to consider their child’s feelings when setting boundaries. For example, they may set their child a curfew, but on special occasions let them stay out a little later. Parents with this nature tend to use consequences instead of punishments. They also practice positive praise to back up good behaviors and are more willing to use a reward system than strict parents. Children raised in this type of environment often tend to be happy and successful. They are good at making decisions and grow up to be responsible adults. Children with this type of parent feel that they can talk to their parents about almost anything, and most of the time they have the upmost respect for their …show more content…
These type of parents often only step in when there is a serious problem rather then be involved in every problem their child has. Few consequences for misbehaving are in place because these parents have the attitude that “kids will be kids.” Lenient parents take on more of the friend role rather than the parent role. Children in this situation often so called run over their parents and make all their decisions on their own. You see lenient parents more in a situation of a divorce where the parents are trying to make their child like one more than the other. Because lenient parents do not expect much out of their children, many children struggle academically. The children have no one to push them or expect anything out of them, so they do not expect anything out of themselves. They show more behavioral problems, because they do not respect authority and rules. They often have a low self-esteem and experience a lot of
A parenting style that focuses on responding to a child’s behaviors but also focuses on not being too demanding or aggressive. Permissive parenting can be another for of parenting that leads to harmful results on the child or minor. Another term for permissive parenting is indulgent parenting. These parents have a tendency to be tolerant while attempting to maintain a strategic distance from any confrontation with their child. The advantage of this parenting style is that they are normally exceptionally sustaining and cherishing. The negatives, be that as it may, exceed this advantage. Hardly any guidelines are set for the offspring of tolerant parents, and the principles are conflicting when they do exist. This absence of structure makes these children grow up with minimal self-control and poise. A few parents receive this strategy as an extraordinary inverse way to deal with their dictator childhood, while others are just hesitant to do anything that may annoy their kid. It might appear as if this would be a child’s most loved parenting style as it gives a feeling of flexibility without results, in any case, childrens hunger for a feeling of structure to influence them to feel safe and. It is critical in a child’s improvement for there to be obvious parental and child positions that are played. Tolerant or permissive parenting can have long haul harming impacts on
Parenting styles refer to a set of different manners in which parents raise their children. There are four parenting styles including authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, and uninvolved parenting. The authoritarian parenting style is based on the implementation of rules, and on the idea that all rules should be followed without exceptions. Similarly, authoritative parenting style implements rules, but the child feelings are taken in consideration and reasonable exceptions to the rule are allowed. On the other hand, in permissive parenting style, there is implementation of rules, but they are rarely encouraged to be followed. Lastly, in uninvolved parenting style, there is a lack of engagement between parents and children, and there are
There is communication with the children on why there are rules in the house. With this type of parenting style you see that the some of the rules can be flexible when the parent thinks it should be flexible. The best way to picture authoritative parent is combing authoritarian and passive parent with moderation. The development that you will see in these type of children will have a sense of security, confidence, they are interactive in the school setting. They are a well-rounded type of child (Liberty,
These parents tend to be lenient while trying to avoid confrontation. The benefit of this parenting style is that they are usually very nurturing and loving,” according to Mgbemere and Tells (Mgbemere). In other words, children of permissive parents are loved and have few to no rules to follow. Mgbemere and Tells say permissive parents lack of rules and structure can be bad for children. They said, “It may seem as though this would be a child’s favorite parenting style as it provides a sense of freedom without consequences, however, children crave a sense of structure to make them feel safe” (Mgbemere). In other words, in order for children to feel safe, a solid structure is need. Other negatives include, lack of social skills, self-centeredness, and disagreements with authority. To sum it up, while permissive parents show affection, the large amount of freedom given to the child can have negative
It can be said for most parents that they want their children to grow up to be successful contributing members of society. Being a parent is a difficult, yet rewarding task. But why do some types of parenting result in juvenile delinquency while others find success. There are four generally recognized parenting styles and are categorized: authoritarian, permissive, neglectful, and authoritative. This essay will break down the various styles, its type(s) of discipline and effectiveness.
This style of parenting is best described as the child having more control over the parent. There are a lot of parents today that seem to have no control of their child actions and even words. This in which can make the parents question what are they doing wrong when it comes to raising their child. This type of parent have very low demands and are highly responsive, maybe even too responsive to the child’s needs. Although these parents are very loving of their children they do not have many rules that their child should abide by (Cherry, K. 2017, para.1). Not setting ground rules gives the child the freedom to do whatever they want and know that they will not receive a harsh, if any punishment at all. Also, parents who are permissive tend to want to be their child’s best friend. The child in this parent in child relationship tends to have more control than the parent. If there are not any rules in place to be followed the child will eventually resort to negative behaviors, and may even be insure because of the low discipline from their parents (Cherry, K. 2017, para. 9). Permissive parents should give the child rules to follow and discipline them if broken, to ensure that their child follow the right path throughout
An example can be if Timmy decides he wants to go to a party on Friday. His parents tell him he has to be back by 9:00 pm. He gets angry and decides to come back home at 11:00 pm. When he gets home his parents punish him by beating him with a stick. They do not explain to him why they are hitting him or they do not take the time to ask why he has arrived home late. As a result to this form of discipline the children usually react quickly and do not make an attempt to negotiate with their parents in fear that they will receive more discipline. The outcome of this type of parenting style is that the child usually becomes unfriendly, anxious, distrusted, and withdrawn. Most of them also have a low self-esteem. A positive outcome is that the child becomes academically successful beca...
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 each style has its own advantages such as; acceptance by peers with commonality. Child rearing for most parents is an evolving set of skills. It could be said that, with any style of parenting, there is no explicit set of rules for every situation, and what works for one child may not be effective for another.
Diana Baurmind and Alfred Adler have similar categories of parenting styles. Authoritative parenting can be compared to democratic and encouraging. Both of these styles offer love and security of the child. They express the parent is in control, but the parent also respect their child with explaining parental actions in a positive way. Permissive parenting can be compared to over-submissive parenting style. The child is rude, and demanding. The parent usually accepts the child’s behavior. In my opinion, the parent does not want to upset the child, or bother with correcting the behavior, so they will give in by rewarding the child in order to correct the child’s behavior. Authoritarian parenting can be compared to over-coercive parenting. These parents are very strict with children. My father can be compared to this parenting style. There was no reasoning, no communication, and his actions were final. This kind of parenting reminds me of being in the military. Finally, uninvolved parenting can be compared to neglecting parenting. I almost wanted to compare uninvolved to rejecting, but I cannot necessarily say the parent has denied acceptance. The parent is selfish, and does not even provide the bare minimum for their child’s necessities. I can compare this type of parenting from a 16 year old mother from the show Teen Mom’s. Jenelle had her son Andrew at a very young age. After his birth, she was distance and cared more about partying. Her
Authoritative parents are both demanding and responsive to their children’s actions. They monitor and set clear standards on how a child is to act and what will happen if they deviate from this. In the example about little Billy getting suspended from school, an authoritative parent would have grounded him and perhaps put him in time-out. He would stick to Billy’s punishment and make him think about what he did. In contrast, permissive parents are more responsive than they are demanding of their children’s actions. They are nontraditional and lenient towards them. They try to avoid confrontation with their children by allowing them to be free minded and do whatever they wish. The attitude of this type of parenting is not a very wise one to have. Permissive parents find that their children: get into arguments with teachers, tell someone “no” when they are told to do something, and yell and argue when they don’t get what they want.
This parenting style is high on warmth and child-to-parent communication. They are very low on discipline, structure, parent-to-child communication, and low on expectation. At times children will act out just to get the necessary attention that they are deprived from at home. Permissive parents take orders and instructions from their children, are passive, endow children with power. There is minimal discipline, and they do not feel responsible for how their children turn out. Ironically, these children turn out to be the unhappiest of all. They are more likely to exhibit psychological problems like anxiety and depression. These children sadly are more likely to commit violence, and engage in antisocial behavior. Research links permissive parents with delinquency, substance abuse, and sexual
The first group is authoritative parenting. Parents in this group always use their rules and directions to control their children in their own ways. These parents set strict rules with their children, and they think that is the best way to conduct their children. These parents make their children become obeyers. They often tell children what to do, and do not provide children with choices and options like permissive or democratic parents. Sometimes they cannot explain why they want children to do these things. Parents usually use compelling sentences like “You must do this” or “You cannot go out” with children...
Permissive children are lacking in self-reliance and self-control while uninvolved children show behavior problems. Some factors that can be attributed to a parent's style of parenting are their emotional adjustment, their marriage, social support, economic stability, and child’s
Despite the actions that come from discipline and go against the parents’ moral values, parents are strict with their children in an effort to look out for the child’s best interests. Others may disagree and view strict parenting as a negative effect on the child’s brain development, but in contrast, parents are strict in order to guide their children down the right path to prosperity. There are different types of parenting, despite whether the parents are good or bad people. If there is one thing strict parenting guarantees is an interest in the child and their well
As parents one only want the best for their children. Therefore, one sometimes tend to come off as strict parents. Parents that only want the best for their children try to teach them respect and mold them into bright, intelligent individuals. Nowadays, the way you appear and carry yourself if very important. Parents who do not let their child participate in some events only does this because one is looking out for their children. Parents are sometimes strict because, one does not want their child to stray away, one does not want their child to make the same mistakes as one did when one was younger, and to teach discipline.
