Parenting Styles
Parenting style refers to the approach parents use to raise their children. It is the combination of strategies, techniques, and attitudes that a parent uses to communicate with their child and to provide guidance and discipline. The way a parent interacts with their child and the expectations they have for their child determines the parenting style.
Authoritarian: Strict, enforce rules rigidly and expect their children to obey without question.
Authoritative: Firm yet flexible, provide reasons for rules and encourage communication with their children.
Permissive: Have few rules, are lenient, and often let their children make their own decisions.
Uninvolved: Indifferent to their child's needs and do not provide support or guidance.
It is important to note that most parents use a combination of the four parenting styles. The parenting style that a parent uses can affect a child's social, emotional, and cognitive development. Research shows that authoritative parenting style is the most effective in producing children who are happy, successful, and responsible adults.
