Authoritative Parenting:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Authoritative Parenting is one of the parenting styles wherein the<strong> parents respect their child\u2019s demands and needs.<\/strong> Although the child has freedom, authoritative parents set ground rules and norms for the child to follow. We could call this style of parenting a little democratic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The freedom given to the children is within certain limits. During times of conflict, the parents give the child the freedom to speak and put his or her point across as well. This teaches the child to listen, whilst speaking their mind out. This builds a bond of trust and respect.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Diana_Baumrind\"><strong>Baumrind<\/strong><\/a> hypothesized that the parents who follow this parenting style<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201c<em>monitor and impart clear standards for their children\u2019s conduct. They are assertive, but not intrusive and restrictive. Their disciplinary methods are supportive, rather than punitive. They want their children to be assertive as well as socially responsible, and self-regulated as well as cooperative\u201d<\/em> (1991).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pertaining to this style of parenting, reasonable demands and responsiveness are certain. This parenting style is a mixture of love, affection and warmth churned together with rules and discipline. Children of authoritative parents witness positive reinforcement as an integral method.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>The main characteristics of this parenting style are:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Orchestrate just rules<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Freedom and trust to express emotions and thought processes (no suppressing of emotion)\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hold accountable for lack of obedience in a fair manner\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Openness to having discussions\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Build and set basic expectations without the burden\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Love, affection, and warmth<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Authoritative parenting style, as opposed to the Authoritarian Parenting Style wherein the rules and parenting, is much more strict and rigid. This style of parenting can be contemplated as well balanced, inculcating more warmth and harmony between the child and the parent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Authoritarian_Parenting\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>2. Authoritarian Parenting:<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This style of parenting is high in demand and has low responsiveness.<strong> The parents showcase authority over their children with strict rules and regulations.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though these parents love their child as much, they believe rules are extremely important for their child to be well behaved, and fit into society. This often leads to suppression of emotions. Kids start to believe that doing their duties is the way to gain acceptance, love, and support.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To gain the love of their parents, and to avoid making them upset, children become obedient.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">become obedient.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now you as a parent might feel this is the ideal child, well not really. They become incapable of making the right decisions for themselves eventually or follow their intrinsic interests. This henceforth results in internal conflict. They might lead a perfect life, however an unhappy one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parents following this parenting style <strong>focus more on punishment than discipline<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As per Diana Baumrind these parents <em>\u201c<\/em><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>are obedience and status-oriented, and expect their orders to be obeyed without explanation<\/em>.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The demands of these parents are high with low responsiveness, feedback, and encouragement. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>The main characteristics of this particular parenting style are:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unresponsive with demands<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insignificant nurturing and amiability<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over Exaggerated punishments\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No room for negotiation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Barely any choices for the child\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rigid mindset\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All these characteristics would definitely affect the child. Behavioral outbreaks, irrationality, and outburst of the child are bound to happen. Self-control and self-esteem are compromised. Anger issues may arise along with frustration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though they conform to norms, they more or less suffer from depression and anxiety. Their decision-making ability goes haywire as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please hesitate to Dictate!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>To see a comparison between these two parenting styles, click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parentingforbrain.com\/authoritative-vs-authoritarian-parenting\/\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Not to distract you, but here&#8217;s a podcast that&#8217;s worth a listen.

Permissive parenting:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learn to say no! Permissive parenting is that style of parenting wherein the parents are blinded by the love for their offspring. So much so that they wouldn\u2019t know when to say no. The child\u2019s wish is their command.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>The child enjoys utmost freedom with no rules whatsoever<\/strong>. As opposed to the above-stated parenting style, children with such parents enjoy full control over them and get whatever they please. These children grow up without boundaries and do what they feel is right, without retrospect or introspect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They do not know how to cope with conflict, or in fact, deal with their emotions. These kids become inconsiderate and unapologetic. Very few ground rules are established.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0They are less of parents and more of friends. Permissive parents are usually relaxed, not enforcing any sort of structure in the life of their child. <strong>Their love overpowers the importance of any sort of ordinance<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In other words, permissive parenting is individualized by low demands and high responsiveness. They are seldom known as \u2018indulgent parents\u2019. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the words of Diana Baumrind, permissive parents <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;are more responsive than they are demanding. They are nontraditional and lenient, do not require mature behavior, allow considerable self-regulation, and avoid confrontation.&#8221;<\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>We can idealize the Permissive parenting style by the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The abundance of love, warmth, and nurturing.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lack of structure, rules, and regulations.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No punishment\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emphasize is more on freedom than on responsibility and accountability.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bribery instead of positive reinforcement\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No consequences or accountability.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though it is important for you as a parent that your child confides in you; it is equally important for your child to see you as a role model, and be at least a little reasonable and accountable. Balance is key!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Uninvolved_Parenting\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>4. Uninvolved Parenting:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fourth of these parenting styles are for neglectful parents. <strong>These parents are self-absorbed and not present in their child\u2019s life, resulting in the loneliness of the child<\/strong>. These children experience full freedom and have all the time and space for imagination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In spite of freedom and space, they often feel unacknowledged, undesired, unappreciated, and neglected. They do not receive any feedback. This makes the child feel irrelevant, and that no matter what they do, nobody would care. Neglect consequently builds up to a lack of trust in themself and others.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These kids become insecurely attached, and incapable of forming healthy relationships. They hold themselves in low regard. As a result, they become numb.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is an unintentional style of parenting. The hectic lifestyle of a few parents doesn&#8217;t give parents the time to realize what they\u2019re doing wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>The characteristics of this parenting style are as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Self-absorbed parents<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Independent decision-making by the child.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unstable self-esteem<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No emotional attachment<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lack of interest by the child\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No rules or repercussions\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Little to no assistance from parents<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if a child doesn&#8217;t ask for love or attention regardless of their age, they expect it and yearn for it. Failure to provide so would result in an unstable mindset. Major self-esteem issues, attachment issues, and emotional instability are highlighted. The child\u2019s social skills are compromised as well. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to a study, the children of authoritarian parents did better academically than the children of uninvolved parents.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seeking guidance and counseling seems like a good option for you as an uninvolved parent.\u00a0 Do right by them, and make smart choices. The results would be slow, and definitely not overnight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Well, parenting is a work of patience and experience. The desire to change and make amends is the first step. Once you figure out the problem, it is then easier to find the solution.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Helicopter_Parenting_by_Dr_Haim_Ginott\"><\/span><strong>Helicopter Parenting by Dr. Haim Ginott <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moving onto the last, but not the least, Helicopter Parenting.
