Parenting Styles

Authoritative
Parenting
 Authoritative Parenting is a parenting style
that is child-centered, in that parents
closely interact with their children, while
maintaining high expectations for behavior
and performance, as well as a firm
adherence to schedules and discipline.
 In the AllyDog.com it says “Features of this
style of parenting include clear standards,
rules and limits, expectations of age-
appropriate behavior, maturity and
independence, supported by punishments
that are explained, consistent and fair, yet
with latitude made for mistakes and
misunderstandings. This style of parenting
is currently favored by child development
specialists.”

Autocratic Parenting (aka authoritarian or
dominating parents)

 Autocratic refers to a rigid parenting style


also known as the authoritarian style.
Autocratic parents want their children to
be well-behaved and successful, but their
strict manner of parenting doesn't allow
for much flexibility. Authoritarian parents
expect children to live up to their
demands without explanation.
 In the Bump it says “While strict parenting
may lead to obedient children, it can also
have adverse effects in the long run.
Children of authoritarian parents are
more likely to suffer from a lack of
confidence, according to Positive-
Parenting-Ally.com. These children may
grow up with an inferiority complex and
become rigid in their thinking. Because
their parents are so critical of them, they
may also be critical of their own behavior
and the behavior of others.”
Permissive Parenting

 Permissive parenting is a type of


parenting style characterized by low
demands with high responsiveness.
Permissive parents tend to be very
loving, yet provide few guidelines
and rules. These parents do not
expect mature behavior from their
children and often seem more like a
friend than a parental figure.
 in the Verywell mind it says
“According to Baumrind, permissive
parents "are more responsive than
they are demanding. They are
nontraditional and lenient, do not
require mature behavior, allow
considerable self-regulation, and
avoid confrontation."
Unengaged Parenting

 Uninvolved parenting, sometimes referred


to as neglectful parenting, is a style
characterized by a lack of responsiveness
to a child's needs. Uninvolved parents
make few to no demands of their children
and they are often indifferent, dismissive,
or even completely neglectful.
 In the site called Verywell mind it says
“These parents have little emotional
involvement with their kids. While they
provide for basic needs like food and
shelter, they are uninvolved in their
children's lives. The degree of
involvement may vary considerably. Some
uninvolved parents may be relatively
hands-off with their kids, but may still
have some basic limits such as curfews.
Others may be downright neglectful or
even reject their children outright.”
