Parenting Styles

Parenting is a unique process that each parent does in their own way. There are four general parenting styles: authoritarian, lenient, authoritarian, and passive. Authoritarian parents rule solely on the basis of authority, while lenient parents tolerate immature and childlike behavior. Passive parents are more involved and emotionally close to their children, while authoritarian parents are a hybrid of the two. Passive parenting is difficult due to immaturity, work, or other factors, and grandparents, older siblings, babysitters, or the children themselves typically raise these children.

Every grandmother and grandfather will tell you amusing stories about their children when they were young. And for every amusing and touching story they have, they will be able to tell you another about adversity. Parenting is something that each parent does in their own unique way. The four general parenting styles are as follows.

Authoritarian parents rule solely on the basis of authority. Children are given commands that they must obey regardless of the circumstances. If these instructions are not followed, harsh punishment will be meted out. These parents do not value their children's opinions. In fact, it is punishable by death. The children are usually quiet and unhappy. They fear their parents more than they love them. Male children struggle with anger, and female children struggle with adversity as a result of their highly structured lives in which nothing ever changes.

Indulgent parents are often described as lenient. They tolerate immature and childlike behavior. These parents expect their children to learn from their mistakes and to be self-sufficient in most situations. These parents are democratic and allow their children to provide feedback on issues. They will listen to both sides of an argument and usually reach an agreement. Indulgent parents avoid confrontation with their children at all costs, but they are more involved and emotionally close to them.

Authoritarian parents are a hybrid of the two previously mentioned parenting styles. They represent a happy medium. While they expect proper behavior from their children, they also welcome feedback and questions about specific issues. They can demand things from their children, but they can also respond to what their children say, ask, and request. These children are the happiest, most confident, and self-assured of all the parenting styles mentioned. Being a purely authoritative parent is extremely difficult.

Passive parenting entails being completely uninvolved. Due to immaturity, work, or other factors, these parents may never return home. Grandparents, older siblings, babysitters, or the children themselves typically raise these children. There is absolutely no parental involvement.
