PARENTING STYLES

2. INTRODUCTION
 Every parent raises their children in a different way
and at the same time there are a lot of similarities
from one parent to other.
 Based on those commonalities they can be classified
into four types of parenting.
 Parenting style would mean the combination of
strategies that a parent uses in order to raise their
children.

3.  researchers have asserted that there are links between
parenting styles and the effects these styles have on
children. These effects, may carry over into their
adult behavior
 During the early 1960s, psychologist Diana Baumrind
conducted a study on more than 100 preschool-age
children. Using naturalistic observation, parental
interviews, and other research methods, she identified
some important dimensions of parenting

4.  Further research by Maccoby and Martin also
suggested adding a fourth parenting style to that
found by Baumrind.
 Each parenting style differs in terms of four areas at
least like discipline style, communication, nurturing,
and expectations.
 lets take a glance over Diane Baumrind’s parenting
style it.

6. BAUMRIND
PARENTING STYLES:
FOUR TYPES OF PARENTING
 Authoritarian Parenting
 These parents "are obedience- and status-oriented, and
expect their orders to be obeyed without explanation.
 Authoritarian parents are often disciplinarians.
 They use a strict discipline style with little negotiation and
moreover Punishment is common.
 Communication is mostly one way: from parent to child.
Rules usually are not explained.
 Parents with this style are typically less nurturing.
 Expectations are high with limited flexibility.
1/2/2019 6jins joseph

7.  In this style of parenting, children are expected to follow the
strict rules established by the parents.
 Failure to follow such rules usually results in punishment.
 They don't explain the reason behind these rules. the parent
might simply reply, "Because I said so."
 They expect their children to behave exceptionally and not
make errors, yet they provide very little direction about
what their children should do or avoid in the future.
 Mistakes are punished, often quite harshly, yet their children
are often left wondering exactly what they did wrong.

8.  Permissive Parenting
 These types of parents mostly let their children to do what
they want, and offer limited guidance or direction. They are
more like friends than parents.
 Their discipline style is the opposite of strict. They have
limited or no rules and mostly let children figure problems
out on their own.
 Communication is open but these parents let their children
to decide for themselves rather than giving direction.
 Parents in this category tend to be warm and nurturing.
 Expectations are typically minimal or not set by these
parents.
1/2/2019 8jins joseph

9.  Uninvolved Parenting
 Uninvolved parents give their children a lot of freedom and
generally stay out of their way.
 Some parents may make a conscious decision, while others
are less interested in parenting or unsure of what to do.
 No particular discipline style is utilized. An uninvolved
parent lets a child mostly do what he wants, probably out of
a lack of information or caring.
 Communication is limited.
 This group of parents offers little nurturing.
 There are few or no expectations of children.1/2/2019 9jins joseph

10.  Authoritative Parenting
 Authoritative parents are reasonable and nurturing, and set
high, clear expectations. Children with parents who
demonstrate this style tend to be self-disciplined and think for
themselves. This style is thought to be most beneficial to
children.
 Disciplinary rules are clear and the reasons behind them are
explained.
 Communication is frequent and appropriate to the child’s level
of understanding.
 Authoritative parents are nurturing.
 Expectations and goals are high but stated clearly. Children
may have input into goals.1/2/2019 10jins joseph

parenting style?

12. FACTORS INFLUENCE
IN HOW CHILDREN "TURN OUT"
 Only few of us belong into one particular type of
parenting style but rather we use a combination of these
styles.
 it is easier for the family when both parents practice the
same style of parenting
 but some research shows that if at least one parent is
authoritative, that would be better for the child than
having two parents with the same, less effective style.
 Obviously there are more influences on who children
become than just the parenting style
1/2/2019 12jins joseph

13. Some of the many other factors impacting a child’s
development include these elements:
 The child’s temperament and how it “fits” with the
parents.
 A teachers’ style of working with children and the
match of teaching style to parenting style.
 The influence of a child’s peer group.
 Influence of the society
1/2/2019 13jins joseph

14. The Impact
of Parenting Styles
 Authoritarian parenting styles generally lead to
children who are obedient and proficient, but they
rank lower in happiness, social competence, and self-
esteem.
 Authoritative parenting styles tend to result in
children who are happy, capable, and successful.
1/2/2019 14jins joseph

15.  Permissive parenting often results in children who
rank low in happiness and self-regulation. These
children are more likely to experience problems with
authority and tend to perform poorly in school.
 Uninvolved parenting styles rank lowest across all
life domains. These children tend to lack self-control,
have low self-esteem, and are less competent than
their peers.
1/2/2019 15jins joseph

16. Why
authoritative parenting is good
 They are more likely to be viewed as reasonable, fair,
and just so their children are more likely to comply
with the requests that these parents make.
 They provide rules as well as explanations for these
rules thus the children are able to see why the rules
exist, understand that they are fair and acceptable.
 Thus it helps them to have their own internalized
sense of what is right and wrong.
1/2/2019 16jins joseph

17. Cons of
mixed parenting style
in the family
 This can sometimes lead to mixed signals like the
child seeks approval from the more permissive parent
to get what they want.
 In order to create a cohesive approach to parenting, it
is essential that parents learn to cooperate as they
combine various elements of their unique parenting
styles.
 For instance: mother gives restriction for a particular
act where father gives permission
