Types of Parenting Styles

Types of Parenting Styles

If you've just discovered that you are expecting your first baby, or have just brought your first newborn home from the hospital, you are probably a little overwhelmed with how to raise this little one. Even if you already have kids, you may still be confused about how to raise them, what kind of parenting styles there are, and parenting styles.

Child psychologists have studied children, parents, and families as a whole, and generally agree that parenting styles and techniques and styles can be divided into three basic categories (authoritarian, permissive, and reliable). It is important to fully understand and compare each category before deciding which one works best for your family, or actually determining your parenting style.

Authoritarian parenting:

The first type of parenting style is called authoritarian parenting, which is basically built on structure, blind obedience, and authority. Authoritarian parents believe that children grow in a home where there are strict structures, boundaries, routines, firm discipline, and high levels of well-defined parental authority. In addition, decision-making is strictly kept for parents; Children get little or no input when it comes to making personal or family decisions, big or small. Children are expected to listen to and obey their parents simply because they are parents. Although this style of parenting was most popular before 1960, it is still considered one of the most important of the three parenting styles of the day. However, it is important to understand that while authoritarian parenting may appear to be somewhat restrictive to others who pursue different parenting styles, it does not equate to abusive parenting in any way.

Relational parenting:

The second type of parenting style is referred to as paternity parenting, and it is essentially the opposite of authoritarian parenting. Lenient guardians will in general be more loose and adaptable in their nurturing style, and they are less worried about construction or authority. Instead, it riveted. Moreover, tolerant parents like to involve their children in personal and family decision-making and truly acknowledge their contributions. But keep in mind that while tolerant parents tend to hand over a lot of power and control over the child, they are not neglected, disinterested, or neglectful parents. Laid-back parenting is more popular than authoritarian parenting in today's society, and it developed after the 1960s, when authoritarian parenting styles were reaching their zenith.

Authoritative parenting:

The third type of parenting is called formal or democratic. Although it looks very similar to parental parenting (in fact, it should be noted that these two types of parenting styles are often confused), formal parenting is very different. Meaning formal parenting mixes a bit of authoritarian parenting with parenting; However, these parents are not simultaneously viewed as authoritarian or intolerant. They will have some structure in the house, but there will be some degree of flexibility within that structure.

Creativity and self-confidence are fostered in a trusted environment, but there are limitations and limitations. Plus, while major decisions are left to the parents, they love to get input from their children and give them some decision-making power. Reliable parents also actively listen and cause reasons with their children when it comes to boundaries, boundaries, and expected behaviors. They become strictly authoritarian when the situation calls for it, in other words, only when it becomes necessary for the parents to exercise their control and authority. Order is utilized, however once more, just when fundamental, and is typically innovative in nature. Ideally, it is practically suited to the child's age, misconduct, abilities, and temperament.

Pros and cons of parenting styles:

There are distinct advantages and disadvantages associated with each parenting style. In authoritarian parenting, for example, many children with behavioral problems or limitations thrive in this type of environment because of the structure, routines, high standards, and parental authority they need. However, children who do not have such issues may grow up with poor self-esteem and level Low in self-confidence and inability to make decisions for themselves, they will end up relying on authority. In parenting, on the other hand, children who may be more withdrawn, reserved or inhibited, can actually benefit from an environment in which they are given greater freedom and freedom with regard to making decisions and exploring their creativity.

 

However, the flexibility and freedom of permissive parenting do not work well for children who face behavioral challenges. Moreover, sometimes if children are given a lot of control or freedom, they can start taking advantage of their parents or other adults, and become selfish, immature or spoiled, with an increased level of impulsivity.

Formal parenting:

Formal parenting can often be seen as the best of both worlds when it comes to parenting styles, as it is seen as more than a "balanced" approach to parenting. Formal parenting includes a certain level of structure and authority, but it is also of a somewhat permissive nature, which can be an ideal combination for many children learning to develop independence and confidence within a framework of structure. However, although this balanced approach may seem like the best option, it is not always appropriate for every child. For example, if your child is considered "extreme" (meaning, either shy or withdrawn, or aggressive and behaviorally hostile), formal parenting may not suit him well. In these cases, authoritarianism (for an aggressive child) or paternity parenting (may a withdrawn child) may work better.       

If the parenting style you are using or want to use doesn't jump at you, consider who has the ultimate control and power in your family. Are you, or your child, or is the joint control between you and the child in an appropriate, age and moody way?

The way you decide to raise your child or children is entirely up to you. There is no single "right" way for parents in today's society. Although a balanced approach to parenting, as found in the formal style, is considered ideal by many, this does not mean that parents who use authoritarian or permissive methods are "wrong." It is important to keep in mind that many parents are not religiously religious in just one of the three parenting styles. It is quite common for parents to use different styles and styles of all three; often without even realizing it.

For example, you may be authoritarian in one particular area, but you may be quite tolerant in others. Ultimately your choice depends on being authoritarian, broad, and reliable on your values, beliefs, ideals, family dynamics, and, perhaps most importantly, the child or children. Many children actually need one type of parenting style above the others, and you may find that you need to use different parenting styles for each of your children, depending on their needs and moods. There is nothing wrong with trying different techniques from different parenting styles to find out which type (or combination) is best for your child and family.
