4 Parenting Styles and Their Effects on Child.
Just like every person is different, every parent is different toward their children. All parents take care of their children in different ways.
Every grandmother and grandfather will tell you hilarious stories of their children when they were firstborn. And for every funny and touching story they have, they will be able to tell you another for every hardship they encountered. Parenting is something that is done in many different ways by each parent. Researchers have identified four types of parenting styles.
1) Authority
2) Indulgent
3) Authoritative
4) Passive
I think parents should be aware of that style, then observe their child’s behavior and then according to their children which method will be right for their upbringing, must try to raise in that way Needed.
1) Authority
Authoritarian parents rule on just that.
You believe like that
- Kids obey your rules in any conditions.
- You ignore the feelings of your children.
- Do not give them a chance to have their words, or ignore their words.
If you believe or do the above things then you are an authoritarian parent.
Commands are given to children that they must follow regardless of the circumstances. If these commands are not followed, harsh punishment will ensue.
These parents do not welcome feedback from their children. In fact, it is met with severe punishment. The children tend to be quiet and unhappy. They have more of a fear than a love for their parents.
Male children have trouble dealing with anger and female children have trouble facing adversity due to their heavily structured life where nothing ever changes.
Children of authoritarian parents are at a higher risk of developing self-esteem problems because their opinions aren’t valued.
2) Indulgent
You believe like that.
- give freedom to your kids in what they want to do.
- Children should be tamed with love and not strictly.
- Do you think that your child will learn more with a little intervention?
If you believe or do the things like the above then you are an Indulgent parent.
Indulgent parents tend to be described as lenient. They allow immature and childish behavior. These parents expect the children to learn from their mistakes and to fend for themselves in most times of need.
These parents tend to be democratic and allow for feedback from their children on issues. They will hear both sides of an argument and usually make a compromise. Indulgent parents usually avoid confrontation with their children by all means but do tend to be more involved and emotionally closer to their children.
Such parents always maintain a more friendly relationship with their children. They behave well with their children so that the child can share his mind with them. Always trying to make his children good people. But he doesn’t put much pressure on them.
It is often seen that the result of excessive permission is not good. It directly affects child health, study, career, etc.
3) Authoritative
You believe like that.
- always maintain a positive relationship with your child
- Understand kids’ feelings and then rule over them.
- Good things should be taught to him with love and not by intimidation.
If you believe or do the things like the above then you are an authoritative parent.
Authoritative parents are a combination of the two styles previously mentioned. They are the happy medium. While expecting proper behavior from their children, they welcome feedback and questioning on certain issues. They’re able to demand things of their children but are also able to respond to what their child says questions and requests. These children tend to be the happiest, most confident, and self-assured of all the mentioned parenting styles. It is very difficult to be a purely authoritative parent.
Researchers have found kids who have authoritative parents are most likely to become responsible adults who feel comfortable expressing their opinions.
4) Passive
You doing like that.
- never focused on your child’s future.
- never ask your child what they do or who your friends are.
- you do not have time to give your child.
If you do the things like the above then you are a passive parent.
Passive parenting is being completely uninvolved. These parents may never be home due to immaturity, work, or the like. These children are usually raised by grandparents, older siblings, babysitters, or themselves. There is no parental involvement at all.
The flaws of self-confidence are mostly visible in the children of such parents. Because he has not got the care and love he wants.
parents do not intend this but get stuck in their responsibility, work pressure, and many reasons like money crunch.
But I feel that a good parent must take the time to take good care of their children by adjusting things now.
Conclusion
If you read this you feel I am not fit in any one parenting style, don’t worry about that. you can choose ae per your behavior some time strick and some time permissive.
but as per the study, the Authoritative style is best in all other Parenting styles. because of its work with the child’s nature and behavior. but you used any other parenting styles at the time to become more authoritative parenting.
With dedication and commitment to being the best parent you can be, you can maintain a positive relationship with your child while still establishing your authority in a healthy manner. And over time, your child will reap the benefits of your authoritative style.
