Parenting styles

Every child is equally important to their parents. Several choices are made by the parents in order to give their children what they deserve the most. The most important is what parenting style the child is worthy of? A lot of parents are still unfamiliar with this term. They treat their children in the same way they have been treated once they were children. Many new parents recall how their mom and dad parented them and make parenting decisions based on their experiences. In addition, they also reach out to gain support and advice from friends and family.

Parenting styles come in three main categories. These styles are authoritarian, permissive, and democratic. Parents can be a mixture of these styles or fall in one or more categories. The authoritarian parents always try to be in control of their children. They set rules and expect for them to be followed. They usually do not like for their children to ask questions about why they are told to do something. Authoritarian parents, in general, are not very warm and affectionate to their children. Despite loving their children very much, they are very critical of their children’s shortcomings. Children of these parents have difficult time thinking for themselves as they are always told what to do.

The permissive parents are described as the ones who have few rules or boundaries for their children. They are very warm and loving to their children despite their children’s faults or achievements. However, Permissive parents do sometimes get overwhelmed with the negative behaviour of their children.

The democratic parenting style is one in which parents engage their children into discussions and rules setting. They allow their children to see what the consequences of their actions will be and help them to avoid pitfalls of those actions.

It is your choice as a parent to choose which style you want to have.
