The Permissive Parenting
Parents do not discipline their children and seem to let the children control all aspects of their own life and sometimes even control the parents behavior to their own wants. Using a Permissive parenting approach is not considered to be the best way to communication with your children.
Democratic Parenting
Democratic parents help children learn to be responsible for themselves and to think about the consequences of their behavior. Parents do this by providing clear, reasonable expectations for their children and explanations for why they expect their children to behave in a particular manner. They monitor their children’s behavior to make sure that they follow through on rules and expectations. They do this in a warm and loving manner. They often, “try to catch their children being good” and reinforcing the good behavior, rather than focusing on the bad.
Authoritarian Parenting
Authoritarian parents always try to be in control and exert their control on the children. These parents set strict rules to try to keep order, and they usually do this without much expression of warmth and affection. They attempt to set strict standards of conduct and are usually very critical of children for not meeting those standards. They tell children what to do, they try to make them obey and they usually do not provide children with choices or options.Authoritarian parents don’t explain why they want their children to do things. If a child questions a rule or command, the parent might answer, “Because I said so.” Parents tend to focus on bad behavior, rather than positive behavior, and children are scolded or punished, often harshly, for not following the rules.Children with authoritarian parents usually do not learn to think for themselves and understand why the parent is requiring certain behaviors.
Authoritative Parenting
Authoritative Parenting Style is where the is parent while still in control does work more closely in explaining to their children the rules and what the consequences may be of a certain action. This can be beneficial for some children to better understand why they may get in trouble and why the parent may punish them…which provides a more rational thought process that may be beneficial to the child when the grow up.
