2. INTRODUCTION
Every parent raises their children in a different way
and at the same time there are a lot of similarities
from one parent to other.
Based on those commonalities they can be classified
into four types of parenting.
Parenting style would mean the combination of
strategies that a parent uses in order to raise their
children.

3. researchers have asserted that there are links between
parenting styles and the effects these styles have on
children. These effects, may carry over into their
adult behavior
During the early 1960s, psychologist Diana Baumrind
conducted a study on more than 100 preschool-age
children. Using naturalistic observation, parental
interviews, and other research methods, she identified
some important dimensions of parenting

4. Further research by Maccoby and Martin also
suggested adding a fourth parenting style to that
found by Baumrind.
Each parenting style differs in terms of four areas at
least like discipline style, communication, nurturing,
and expectations.
lets take a glance over Diane Baumrind’s parenting
style it.

PARENTING STYLES:
FOUR TYPES OF PARENTING
Authoritarian Parenting
These parents "are obedience- and status-oriented, and
expect their orders to be obeyed without explanation.
Authoritarian parents are often disciplinarians.
They use a strict discipline style with little negotiation and
moreover 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.

7. In this style of parenting, children are expected to follow the
strict rules established by the parents.
Failure to follow such rules usually results in punishment.
They don't explain the reason behind these rules. the parent
might simply reply, "Because I said so."
They expect their children to behave exceptionally and not
make errors, yet they provide very little direction about
what their children should do or avoid in the future.
Mistakes are punished, often quite harshly, yet their children
are often left wondering exactly what they did wrong.

8. Permissive Parenting
These types of parents mostly let their children to 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 their children
to 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.
1/2/2019 8jins joseph
9. Uninvolved Parenting
Uninvolved parents give their children a lot of freedom and
generally stay out of their way.
Some parents may make a conscious decision, while others
are less interested in parenting or unsure of what to do.
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.1/2/2019 9jins joseph
10. 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.1/2/2019 10jins joseph
12. FACTORS INFLUENCE
IN HOW CHILDREN "TURN OUT"
Only few of us belong into one particular type of
parenting style but rather we use a combination of these
styles.
it is easier for the family when both parents practice the
same style of parenting
but some research shows that if at least one parent is
authoritative, that would be better for the child than
having two parents with the same, less effective style.
Obviously there are more influences on who children
become than just the parenting style
1/2/2019 12jins joseph
13. Some of the many other factors impacting a child’s
development include these elements:
The child’s temperament and how it “fits” with the
parents.
A teachers’ style of working with children and the
match of teaching style to parenting style.
The influence of a child’s peer group.
Influence of the society

14. The Impact
of Parenting Styles
Authoritarian parenting styles generally lead to
children who are obedient and proficient, but they
rank lower in happiness, social competence, and self-
esteem.
Authoritative parenting styles tend to result in
children who are happy, capable, and successful.
1/2/2019 14jins joseph
15. Permissive parenting often results in children who
rank low in happiness and self-regulation. These
children are more likely to experience problems with
authority and tend to perform poorly in school.
Uninvolved parenting styles rank lowest across all
life domains. These children tend to lack self-control,
have low self-esteem, and are less competent than
their peers.
1/2/2019 15jins joseph
16. Why
authoritative parenting is good
They are more likely to be viewed as reasonable, fair,
and just so their children are more likely to comply
with the requests that these parents make.
They provide rules as well as explanations for these
rules thus the children are able to see why the rules
exist, understand that they are fair and acceptable.
Thus it helps them to have their own internalized
sense of what is right and wrong.

17. Cons of
mixed parenting style
in the family
This can sometimes lead to mixed signals like the
child seeks approval from the more permissive parent
to get what they want.
In order to create a cohesive approach to parenting, it
is essential that parents learn to cooperate as they
combine various elements of their unique parenting
styles.
For instance: mother gives restriction for a particular
act where father gives permission
