Diane Baumrind's Typology

Permissive parents allow complete freedom to their children and there is very little discipline visible. Permissive parenting was “Popular in the 1950’s and 1960’s” because of all the troubles going on during WWII. (5) They like to tell their kids “One more time…” whenever the kids do something bad. An example can be if Timmy asks his parents if he can go to a party. They tell him he has to be home by 10pm. Then his parents tell him the limit is 10pm. Then he suggests 12pm and because they do not want Timmy to be angry with them they let him do whatever he wants. Permissive parents have a fear that their kids will not like them. Unlike authoritarian parents, permissive parents make rules but they never enforce the rules. The children in this parenting style are usually immature, dependant, aggressive, and unhappy. They do not do well academically because of their inability to regulate to the school rules.

Authoritative parenting style is thought to be the most effective and beneficial parenting style (Mgbemere & Telles, 2013). They have rules and guidelines they want their children to follow. They exercise control over the behavior of the child. But they emphasize independence and individuality in the child (Brooks, 2013). They are flexible with their parenting style and allow the child to ask questions. They are willing to respond to their child and listen to what they have to say. They communicate with their children. This produces children that have a very high self-confident and independent. When the child becomes an adolescent they feel that their opinions are valued. The end result, they are

As I was reading through our course textbook, “Psychology: An Exploration,” by Saundra K. Ciccarelli and J. Noland White and listening through class lectures over the course of the semester, I found the topic on parenting styles in chapter 8 to be very interesting. I found it to be interesting because I can think on many life situations as a child that applies to this concept very easily, which I never realized before. There are three different types of parenting styles. The first style is called authoritarian parenting. Authoritarian parenting is a style when the parent constantly demands rules on their children and nothing other than rules. In our textbook it is stated that, “this type of parent is stern, rigid, demanding perfection, controlling, uncompromising” (Ciccarelli, White, 2013). An authoritarian parent is one that expects their child to obey their rules or else they would get punished; as I would say this style of parenting is when the parent believes, “is either their way or the highway.” The second style of parenting is called permissive parenting. Permissive parenting is the complete opposite style of authoritarian parenting. They are parents that have absolutely no rules in their household. Permissive parents are normally portrayed as parents that could careless about the concept of parenting. Permissive parents believe that without given rules and demands to their children, their children will be the happiest. This style can also, indicate neglectfulness

Frist, Authoritative Parenting is considered the most successful way to parent a child (Hughes 2013). It is considered the most successful way to parent children because it has a high parent involvement rate and the levels of control are well balanced. These types of parents have very realistic expectations and limits for their kids. The parents also have a more natural way to approach consequences when needed. Authoritative parents tend to listen to the child’s point of view when they are talking, and allow the child more opportunities to be independent. These parents will have set rules that have to be followed and will explain their reasons why the rules are there, but also explain what the consequences will be if they choose not to follow the set rules. The parents in this category are also more lenient with the children as well. They will bend and allow exceptions to their set rules and consequences in certain situations. For example these

Parenting style is one of many factors that strongly influence the child's development and their behaviors. Researchers have demonstrated many times that the environment in which children are raised has significant effects on a child’s intellectual, physical, social, and emotional development. For decades, researchers have also been interested in how parents influence their children's development, and one approach in this area is the study of what has been termed as parenting style. In 1971, clinical and developmental psychologist, Diana Baumrind came up with three main categories of parenting styles: authoritarian, authoritative and democratic. Parents can be a mixture of three styles or fall into one or more categories.

Baumrind had a theory on four different parenting Styles, Authoritative parenting, authoritarian parenting, permissive parenting and neglectful parenting. The authoritative parenting style is known as a democratic parenting style. These parents are usually more strict parents, they have higher expectations for their child for them to succeed and for their maturity. These parents are devoted to their kids independence but are also still affectionate. An authoritarian parent also has high standards and is

toward the child and are patient. Both parent and child gets to have a say in matters.

These parents are nurturing and accepting, listening to whatever their offspring say, but they do not feel responsible for shaping up their children [1]. The third style of caregiving is Authoritative. In authoritative parenting, they set limits and enforce rules, yet they listen to their children [1]. These parents want their child to become mature, but are forgiving if they children do not succeed in their capabilities. They actually want to guide their child throughout their life. The last style is called neglectful/uninvolved parenting. The parents raise their child who are immature, sad, lonely and at risk of abuse [1]. In this style, all the child wants is love and to feel cared for, but instead, those feelings are replaced with neglect. Having a better understanding of these parenting styles, my mother would fall under Authoritative

Permissive parenting style: in this style the child is given low level of demands and expectation in their behavior .in this style the parents tend to be loving yet provides few guideline and rules. In these parents often seems like friend than a parent figure, he do not expect mature level of behavior from their children.

The chapter talks about parenting as an important factor for the children socioemotional growth and development. The chapter talks about the concept of four different types of parenting style: authoritarian, authoritative, permissive or permissive-indulgent, uninvolved or permissive-indifferent. Parenting styles varies from person to person. Hence, different people apply different parenting style for raising their child.

Presented in the book Life-Span Development, in chapter 8, it explains the four types of parenting styles by Baumrind’s. The first one is called Authoritarian parenting. Authoritarian parenting is a restrictive, punitive style in which parenting exhorts the child to follow their directions and respect their work and effort. The second parenting style is called Authoritative parenting. This is when the children are encouraged to be independent but still place limits and controls on their actions. The third parenting style is called neglectful parenting. Neglectful parenting is a style in which the parents are uninvolved in the child’s life. The last out of the four parenting styles is called Indulgent parenting. This parenting style is when the parents are highly involved with their children but place few demands or controls on them.

Parenting Styles- There are 3 parenting styles and they are authoritarian, authoritative, and permissive. Authoritarian parents are very tough on their kids not allowing them to do lots of things and having many guidelines set also they are not very nurturing. Authoritative parents allow their kids to speak their mind with in limitations, placing guidelines but are also

According to developmental psychologist Diana Baumrind, there are four main types of parenting styles. One style of parenting is ‘Authoritarian’ this type of parent is rigid, punitive, and have strict standards. The type of children that are created from this parenting style are unsociable, unfriendly, and withdrawn children. Another type of parenting style is ‘Permissive’, this type of parent is lax, inconsistent, and undemanding. The type of children produced from this parenting type are immature, moody, dependent, and have low self-control. Another type is ‘Authoritative’, which makes the parent firm, set limits, goals, and uses reason. The type of children produced from this parenting style have good social skills, likable, self-reliant,

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

My parents often took to the authoritative style, which is known currently as the most successful approach. The authoritative parent is involved in their child’s life and is accepting as well as sensitive to their needs. Sometimes, I could see my parents as being authoritarian, which is common because many parents find a kind of medium between these two styles. Unlike authoritative, the authoritarian
