Every child is unique, which
means that the job of every parent is an unpredictable and individual task. It
is important as a parent to always consider your personal needs and situation,
your personality, and the effects that you want to have on your child.
Parenting can be hugely rewarding
and joyous, then at the same time be frustrating and exhausting. But though the
style of parenting you choose for your family at an early age can have lasting
effects on a child’s emotional, intellectual, physical and psychological
development. So therefore, the style with which you choose to parents must be
chosen carefully.
The different types of parenting styles are listed and explained below.
1. Authoritative
2. Authoritarian
3. Permissive
4. Neglectful.
Authoritative:
This parenting style is believe to be healthiest and most productive style. It
makes the child to be motivated to engage in new challenges, maintain high
self-esteem and their own autonomy.
This parenting
style often results in well-adjusted students that interact with others well,
perform at above average levels and self-motivate as they get older and begin
to experience new obstacles in life. And it makes them to be self-sufficient,
not selfish.
Authoritarian: There is a major
difference between this style and the first one. Though children who are raised
by authoritarian parents typically well in school, and are often at the top of
their class, but their parent’s strict treatment on them can have tangible
results on them later in life.
The children
under this parenting style, often find it difficult to make friends, suffer
from depression and also lack self-confidence. A child that is raised in an
authoritarian structure, find it difficult to follow their own instincts, and
are constantly seeking the approval or permission of a parent.
Permissive: Children that are raised
under a permissive style will tend to think that they are entitled to certain
freedoms, and resent anyone who tried to control them. While this children tend
to have more self-confidence and can assert themselves socially, they often put
these skills to bad use, and are more likely to rebel in sexual or social ways,
and also includes in substance abuse and reckless behavior. While it may seem
wise let your child have no boundaries and experience the world without too
many rules and regulations, it can also have dangerous long-term consequences.
Neglectful: This is the worst style of
parenting, it is an apathetic style of parenting, where children are not encouraged
to be free spirits and independent, nor are they given boundaries to restrict
them.
A child that is
raised in a neglected style will seek out other natural parental figures, but
have no over aching moral compass to guide them.
In this kind of
situation, it will be very dangerous for children to remain in that family
structure, but when the neglect is not too severe, a family structure can be
improved. There is nothing “good” about being a neglectful parent.
