    14 Parenting Styles

    Uploaded by

    Mike Capajo
    The document discusses 4 parenting styles according to Diane Baumrind: authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, and uninvolved. Authoritarian parenting uses strict discipline and one-way communication, while authoritative parenting is reasonable, nurturing, and sets clear expectations. Permissive parenting offers little guidance and lets children decide things themselves, and uninvolved parenting gives children freedom but lacks communication or expectations. Later, Barbara Coloroso introduces different imagery for the styles - authoritarian is a "brick wall", permissive is a "jellyfish", and authoritative has a "backbone".

    PARENTING STYLES

    4 Parenting Styles
    (according to Diane Baumrind)
    Authoritarian Parenting

    • Authoritarian parents are often thought of as disciplinarians.


    • They use a strict discipline style with little negotiation possible.
    Punishment is common.
    • Communication is mostly one way: from parent to child. Rules usually
    are not explained.
    • Parents with this style are typically less nurturing.
    • Expectations are high with limited flexibility.
    Authoritative Parenting

    • Authoritative parents are reasonable and nurturing, and set high, clear
    expectations.
    • Children with parents who demonstrate this style tend to be self-
    disciplined and think for themselves. This style is thought to be most
    beneficial to children.
    • Disciplinary rules are clear and the reasons behind them are explained.
    • Communication is frequent and appropriate to the child’s level of
    understanding.
    • Authoritative parents are nurturing.
    • Expectations and goals are high but stated clearly. Children may have
    input into goals.
    Permissive Parenting

    • Permissive or Indulgent parents mostly let their children do what they


    want, and offer limited guidance or direction. They are more like friends
    than parents.
    • Their discipline style is the opposite of strict. They have limited or no
    rules and mostly let children figure problems out on their own.
    • Communication is open but these parents let children decide for
    themselves rather than giving direction.
    • Parents in this category tend to be warm and nurturing.
    • Expectations are typically minimal or not set by these parents.
    Uninvolved Parenting

    • Uninvolved parents give children a lot of freedom and generally stay


    out of their way. No particular discipline style is utilized.
    • An uninvolved parent lets a child mostly do what he wants, probably
    out of a lack of information or caring.
    • Communication is limited.
    • This group of parents offers little nurturing.
    • There are few or no expectations of children.
    Barbara Coloroso, Canada, Toronto, Ontario, 2001, introduces
    different imagery from Diane Baumrind:

    Authoritarian becomes “Brick-wall”


    Indulgent or Permissive turn into “Jellyfish”
    Authoritative is called “Backbone”

    Brick-wall Family
    A brick-wall is a nonliving thing, designed to restrict, to keep in and to
    keep out. In brick wall families the structure is rigid and is used for
    control and power, both of which are in the hands of the parents.
    Jellyfish Family
    A jellyfish has no firm parts at all and reacts to every eddy and current
    that comes along. In jellyfish families structure is almost non-existent;
    the need for it (structure) may not even be acknowledged or
    understood.

    Backbone Family
    A backbone is a living. supple spine that gives form and movement to
    the whole body. In backbone families structure is present and firm and
    flexible and functional.
