Parenting styles - wikipedia Parenting styles A parenting style is a psychological construct representing standard strategies that parents use in their child rearing. The quality of parenting can be more essential than the quantity of time spent with the child. For instance, a parent can spend an entire afternoon with his or her child, yet the parent may be engaging in a different activity and not demonstrating enough interest towards the child. Parenting styles are the representation of how parents respond to and make demands on their children. Parenting practices are specific behaviors, while parenting styles represent broader patterns of parenting practices. There are various theories and opinions on the best ways to rear children, as well as differing levels of time and effort that parents are willing to invest. Children go through different stages in life, therefore parents create their own parenting styles from a combination of factors that evolve over time as children begin to develop their own personalities. During the stage of infancy, parents try to adjust to a new lifestyle in terms of adapting and bonding with their new infant. Developmental psychologists distinguish between the relationship between the child and parent, which ideally is one of attachment, and the relationship between the parent and child, referred to as bonding. In the stage of adolescence, parents encounter new challenges, such as adolescents seeking and desiring freedom. Mother carrying an infant child A child 's temperament and parents ' cultural patterns have an influence on the kind of parenting style a child may receive. The degree to which a child 's education is part of parenting is a further matter of debate. Early research in parenting and child development found that parents who provide their children with proper nurture, independence and firm control, have children who appear to have higher levels of competence and are socially skilled and proficient. Additional developmental skills result from positive parenting styles including : maintaining a close relationship with others, being self - reliant, and independence. During the mid 1980s, researchers began to explore how specific parenting styles influence a child 's later development.

One study association that has been made is the difference between `` child 's outcome and continuous measures of parental behavior ''. Some of the associations that are listed include the following : support, involvement, warmth, approval, control, monitoring, and harsh punishment. Parenting practices such as parental support, monitoring and firm boundaries appear to be linked to higher school grades, less behavior problems and better mental health. These components have no age limit and can begin early in pre-school leading all the way into college. Theories of child rearing Beginning in the 17th centuries, two philosophers independently wrote works that have been widely influential in child rearing. John Locke 's 1693 book Some Thoughts Concerning Education is a well known foundation for educational pedagogy from a Puritan standpoint. Locke highlights the importance of experiences to a child 's development, and recommends developing their physical habits first. In 1762, the French philosopher Jean - Jacques Rousseau published a volume on education, Emile : or, On Education. He proposed that early education should be derived less from books and more from a child 's interactions with the world. Of these, Rousseau is more consistent with slow parenting, and Locke is more for concerted cultivation. Jean Piaget Jean Piaget 's theory of cognitive development describes how children represent and reason about the world. This is a developmental stage theory that consists of a Sensorimotor stage, Preoperational stage, Concrete operational stage, and Formal operational stage. Piaget was a pioneer in the field of child development and continues to influence parents, educators and other theorists. Erik Erikson, a developmental psychologist, proposed eight life stages through which each person must develop. In order to move on to the next stage, the person must work out a `` crisis '' in which a new dilemma must be solved. In each stage, they must understand and balance two conflicting forces, and so parents might choose a series of parenting styles that helps each child as appropriate at each stage. The first five of his eight stages occur in childhood : The virtue of hope requires balancing trust with mistrust, and typically occurs from birth to one year old. Will balances autonomy with shame and doubt around the ages of two to three. Purpose balances initiative with guilt around the ages of four to six years. Competence balances industry against inferiority around ages seven to 12. Fidelity contrasts identity with role confusion, in ages 13 to 19. The remaining adult virtues are love, care and wisdom. Rudolf Dreikurs believed that pre-adolescent children 's misbehavior was caused by their unfulfilled wish to be a member of a social group. He argued that they then act out a sequence of four mistaken goals : first they seek attention. If they do not get it, they aim for power, then revenge and finally feel inadequate. This theory is used in education as well as parenting, forming a valuable theory upon which to manage misbehavior. Other parenting techniques should also be used to encourage learning and happiness. He emphasized the significance to establish a democratic family style that adopts a method of periodic democratic family councils and meanwhile avert the punishment. He advances `` logical and natural consequences ''. That teach children to be responsible and understand the natural consequences of proper rules of conduct and improper behavior. Frank Furedi is a sociologist with a particular interest in parenting and families. He believes that the actions of parents are less decisive than others claim. He describes the term infant determinism as the determination of a person 's life prospects by what happens to them during infancy, arguing that there is little or no evidence for its truth. While commercial, governmental and other interests constantly try to guide parents to do more and worry more for their children, he believes that children are capable of developing well in almost any circumstances. Furedi quotes Steve Petersen of Washington University in St. Louis : `` development really wants to happen. It takes very impoverished environments to interfere with development... ( just ) do n't raise your child in a closet, starve them, or hit them on the head with a frying pan ''. Similarly, the journalist Tim Gill has expressed concern about excessive risk aversion by parents and those responsible for children in his book No Fear. This aversion limits the opportunities for children to develop sufficient adult skills, particularly in dealing with risk, but also in performing adventurous and imaginative activities. In 1998, independent scholar Judith Rich Harris published The Nurture Assumption, in which she argued that scientific evidence, especially behavioral genetics, showed that all different forms of parenting do not have significant effects on children 's development, short of cases of severe child abuse or child neglect. She proposes two main points for the effects : genetic effects, and social effects involved by the peer groups in which children participate. The purported effects of different forms of parenting are all illusions caused by heredity, the culture at large, and children 's own influence on how their parents treat them. Baumrind 's parenting typology Diana Baumrind is a researcher who focused on the classification of parenting styles. Baumrind 's research is known as `` Baumrind 's parenting typology ''. In her research, she found what she considered to be the four basic elements that could help shape successful parenting : responsiveness vs. unresponsiveness and demanding vs. undemanding. Parental responsiveness refers to the degree to which the parent responds to the child 's needs in a supportive and accepting manner. Parental Demandingness refers to the rules in which the parent has in place for their child 's behavior, the expectations for their children to comply with these rules, and the level of repercussions that follow if those rules are broken. Through her studies Baumrind identified three initial parenting styles : Authoritative parenting, authoritarian parenting and permissive parenting. Maccoby and Martin expanded upon Baumrind 's three original parenting styles by placing parenting styles into two distinct categories : demanding and undemanding. With these distinctions, four new parenting styles were defined : Maccoby and Martin 's Four Parenting Styles Baumrind 's Three Parenting Styles Demanding Undemanding Responsive Authoritative / Propagative Indulgent ( Permissive ) Unresponsive Authoritarian / Totalitarian Neglectful Baumrind believed that parents should be neither punitive nor aloof. Rather, they should develop rules for their children and be affectionate with them. These parenting styles are meant to describe normal variations in parenting, not deviant parenting, such as might be observed in abusive homes. In addition, parenting stress can often cause changes in parental behavior such as inconsistency, increased negative communication, decreased monitoring and / or supervision, setting vague rules or limits on behavior, being more reactive and less proactive, and engaging in increasingly harsh disciplinary behaviors. The three styles Authoritative The parent is demanding and responsive. When this style is systematically developed, it grows to fit the descriptions propagative parenting and concerted cultivation. Authoritative parenting is characterized by a child - centered approach that holds high expectations of maturity. Authoritative parents can understand how their children are feeling and teach them how to regulate their feelings. Even with high expectations of maturity, authoritative parents are usually forgiving of any possible shortcomings. They often help their children to find appropriate outlets to solve problems. Authoritative parents encourage children to be independent but still place limits on their actions. Extensive verbal give - and - take is not refused, and parents try to be warm and nurturing toward the child. Authoritative parents are not usually as controlling as authoritarian parents, allowing the child to explore more freely, thus having them make their own decisions based upon their own reasoning. Often, authoritative parents produce children who are more independent and self - reliant. An authoritative parenting style mainly results when there is high parental responsiveness and high parental demands. Authoritative parents will set clear standards for their children, monitor the limits that they set, and also allow children to develop autonomy. They also expect mature, independent, and age - appropriate behavior of children. Punishments for misbehavior are measured and consistent, not arbitrary or violent. Often behaviors are not punished but the natural consequences of the child 's actions are explored and discussed - allowing the child to see that the behavior is inappropriate and not to be repeated, rather than not repeated to merely avoid adverse consequences. Authoritative parents set limits and demand maturity. When punishing a child, the parent will explain his or her motive for their punishment. Children are more likely to respond to authoritative parenting punishment because it is reasonable and fair. A child knows why they are being punished because an authoritative parent makes the reasons known. As a result, children of authoritative parents are more likely to be successful, well liked by those around them, generous and capable of self - determination. Authoritarian See also : Strict father model The parent is demanding but not responsive. Authoritarian parenting is a restrictive, punishment - heavy parenting style in which parents make their children follow their directions with little to no explanation or feedback and focus on the child 's and family 's perception and status. Corporal punishment, such as spanking, and shouting are forms of discipline frequently preferred by authoritarian parents. The goal of this style, at least when well - intentioned, is to teach the child to behave, survive, and thrive as an adult in a harsh and unforgiving society by preparing the child for negative responses such as anger and aggression that the child will face if his / her behavior is inappropriate. In addition, advocates of this style often believe that the shock of aggression from someone from the outside world will be less for a child accustomed to enduring both acute and chronic stress imposed by parents. Authoritarian parenting has distinctive effects on children : Children raised using this type of parenting may have less social competence because the parent generally tells the child what to do instead of allowing the child to choose by him or herself, making the child appear to excel in the short term but limiting development in ways that are increasingly revealed as supervision and opportunities for direct parental control decline. Children raised by authoritarian parents tend to be conformist, highly obedient, quiet, and not very happy. These children often suffer from depression and self - blame. For some children raised by authoritarian parents, these behaviors continue into adulthood. Children who are resentful of or angry about being raised in an authoritarian environment but have managed to develop high behavioral self - confidence often rebel in adolescence and / or young adulthood. Children who experience anger and resentment coupled with the downsides of both inhibited self - efficacy and high self - blame often retreat into escapist behaviors, including but not limited to substance abuse, and are at heightened risk for suicide. Specific aspects of authoritarian styles prevalent among certain cultures and ethnic groups, most notably aspects of traditional Asian child - rearing practices sometimes described as authoritarian, often continued by Asian American families and sometimes emulated by intensive parents from other cultures, may be associated with more positive median child outcomes than Baumrind 's model predicts, albeit at the risk of exacerbated downside outcomes exemplified by Asian cultural phenomena such as hikikomori and the heightened suicide rates found in South Korea, in India and by international observers of China before 2014. Quiverfull parents often use authoritarian - style parenting. Orthodox religious groups, Catholicism, Evangelism and others.. Indulgent or permissive The parent is responsive but not demanding. Indulgent parenting, also called permissive, non-directive, lenient or libertarian, is characterized as having few behavioral expectations for the child. `` Indulgent parenting is a style of parenting in which parents are very involved with their children but place few demands or controls on them ''. Parents are nurturing and accepting, and are responsive to the child 's needs and wishes. Indulgent parents do not require children to regulate themselves or behave appropriately. As adults, children of indulgent parents will pay less attention to avoiding behaviors which cause aggression in others. Permissive parents try to be `` friends '' with their child, and do not play a parental role. The expectations of the child are very low, and there is little discipline. Permissive parents also allow children to make their own decisions, giving them advice as a friend would. This type of parenting is very lax, with few punishments or rules. Permissive parents also tend to give their children whatever they want and hope that they are appreciated for their accommodating style. Other permissive parents compensate for what they missed as children, and as a result give their children both the freedom and materials that they lacked in their childhood. Baumrind 's research on pre-school children with permissive parents found that the children were immature, lacked impulsive control and were irresponsible. Children of permissive parents may tend to be more impulsive and as adolescents may engage more in misconduct such as drug use, `` Children never learn to control their own behavior and always expect to get their way. '' But in the better cases they are emotionally secure, independent and are willing to learn and accept defeat. They mature quickly and are able to live life without the help of someone else. From a 2014 study, The teens least prone to heavy drinking had parents who scored high on both accountability and warmth. So - called ' indulgent ' parents, those low on accountability and high on warmth, nearly tripled the risk of their teen participating in heavy drinking. ' Strict parents ' or authoritarian parents -- high on accountability and low on warmth -- more than doubled their teen 's risk of heavy drinking. Effects on children Most studies, mainly in Anglophone countries, have shown that children with authoritative parents have the best outcomes in different areas ( behavior, mental and social adjustment... ). The case might be different, however, for Asian populations, where the authoritarian style was found as good as the authoritative one. On the other hand, some studies have found a superiority of the indulgent style in Spain, Portugal or Brazil, but the methodology of these studies has been contested. More recently a study has shown that in Spain, while using the same questionnaire used in other countries, the authoritative style continues to be the best one for children. Other parenting styles Attachment parenting A parenting style framed around psychological attachment theory. Attachment in psychology is defined as `` a lasting emotional bond between people ''. There are four main types of attachment : secure, insecure - avoidant, insecure - resistant, and disorganized attachment. Child - centered parenting A parenting style advocated by Blythe and David Daniel, which focuses on the real needs and the unique person - hood of each child. Positive parenting A parenting style overlapping substantially with authoritative parenting and defined by consistent support and guidance through developmental stages. Concerted cultivation is a specific form of positive parenting characterized by parents ' attempts to foster their child 's talents through organized extracurricular activities such as music lessons, sports / athletics, and academic enrichment. Narcissistic parenting A narcissistic parent is a parent affected by narcissism or narcissistic personality disorder. Typically narcissistic parents are exclusively and possessively close to their children and may be especially envious of, and threatened by, their child 's growing independence. The result may be what has been termed a pattern of narcissistic attachment, with the child considered to exist solely for the parent 's benefit. Nurturant parenting A family model where children are expected to explore their surroundings with protection from their parents. Overparenting Parents who try to involve themselves in every aspect of their child 's life, often attempting to solve all their problems and stifling the child 's ability to act independently or solve his or her own problems. A helicopter parent is a colloquial early 21st - century term for a parent who pays extremely close attention to his or her children 's experiences and problems, and attempts to sweep all obstacles out of their paths, particularly at educational institutions. Helicopter parents are so named because, like helicopters, they hover closely overhead, especially during the late adolescence to early adulthood years during which gradual development of independence and self - sufficiency are essential for future success. Modern communication technology has promoted this style by enabling parents to keep watch over their kids through cell phones, emails, and online monitoring of academic grades. Affectionless control This parental style combines a lack of warmth and caring ( low parental care ) with over-control ( such as parental criticism, intrusiveness ). This has been linked to children 's anxiety and to dysfunctional attitudes and low self - esteem in the children, although it is not necessarily the cause. There is evidence that parental affectionless control is associated with suicidal behavior. Slow parenting Encourages parents to plan and organize less for their children, instead allowing them to enjoy their childhood and explore the world at their own pace. Electronics are limited, simplistic toys are utilized, and the child is allowed to develop their own interests and to grow into their own person with lots of family time, allowing children to make their own decisions. Idle parenting is a specific form of slow parenting according to which children can take care of themselves most of the time, and that the parents would be happier if they spent more time taking care of themselves too. Toxic parenting Poor parenting, with a toxic relationship between the parent and child. It results in complete disruption of the child 's ability to identify themselves and reduced self - esteem, neglecting the needs of the child. Abuse is sometimes seen in this parenting style. Adults who have suffered from toxic parents are mostly unable to recognize toxic parenting behavior in themselves. Children with toxic parents grow up with damages and may pass these damages to their own children. Dolphin parenting A term used by psychiatrist Shimi Kang and happiness researcher Shawn Achor to represent a parenting style seen as similar to the nature of dolphins, being `` playful, social and intelligent ''. It has been contrasted to `` tiger '' parenting. According to Kang, dolphin parenting provides a balance between the strict approach of tiger parenting and the lack of rules and expectations that characterizes what she calls `` jellyfish parents ''. Dolphin parents avoid overscheduling activities for their children, refrain from being overprotective, and take into account the desires and goals of their children when setting expectations for behavior and academic success. ' Ethnic Minority ' parenting style This ethnocentric term was coined in the USA out of Authoritarian parenting, and it refers to a style characterized by exceptionally high academic achievements among children from Asian backgrounds. Ethnic Minority style differs from strict authoritarian parenting by being highly responsive towards children 's needs, while also differing from authoritative parenting by maintaining high demands, and not placing children 's needs as a priority. This style promotes high demandingness and high responsiveness together to produce high academic performance in children. Cross-cultural variation These theories of parenting styles are almost entirely based on evidence from high income countries, especially the USA. Yet there are, typically, fundamental differences in child development between high income and low income countries which might mean that parenting styles or practices have different effects on children in the different settings. For instance, in sub-Saharan Africa children are likely to have more than one main carer, to acquire language in a bilingual environment, and to play in mixed aged peer groups. However, when comparing African American caregiving among lower, middle, and upper socioeconomic families, the number of non-parental caregivers decreases as economic resources increase. In addition, international studies have found Chinese parents to be more concerned with impulse control, which may explain the greater use of authoritarian style as compared to U.S. parents. Thus, social values and norms within a culture influence the choice of parenting style that will help the child conform to cultural expectations. There is evidence to suggest cultural differences in the way children respond to parenting practices. In particular, there is ongoing debate surrounding physical discipline and corporal punishment of children. with some authors suggesting it is less harmful in ethnic groups or countries where it is culturally normative, such as several low income countries, where the prevalence rate remains high. Lansford et al ( 2004 ) reported harsh parenting was associated with more externalising behaviours in European American compared with African American adolescents. Resolving these issues is important in assessing the transferability of parenting interventions across cultures and from high to low income countries in order to improve child development and health outcomes. Some parenting styles correlate with positive outcomes across cultures, while other parenting styles correlate with outcomes that are specific to one culture. For example, authoritative parenting is related to positive self - esteem and academic outcomes for both Chinese and European American adolescents, but the positive effects of the `` ethnic minority '' parenting style are specific to Chinese adolescents. There is also evidence to suggest that there is not only cultural variation, but variations across settings within a culture. For example, Mexican American and African American parental expectations of obedience and autonomy differ in school and other social settings vs. home. A study comparing Indian parents who stayed in India and Indian parents who immigrated to a different country shows that the influence cultural traditions have on parenting changes according to social / geographical context, concluding that immigrant parents place greater emphasis on traditional Indian culture in order to preserve traditional practices in their new country. Thus, in immigrant families, parenting styles according to culture may be the result of conscious reinforcement as opposed to unconscious tradition. Differences for male and female children Mothers and fathers tend to pick up different behaviors of parenting based on the sex of their child. Studies have shown that fathers can affect their daughters ' emotional adjustment more through the style of parenting they demonstrate rather than through using disciplinary approaches, such as punishment. Also, both a father and mother sometimes tend to use an authoritative style towards their daughters, while feeling more comfortable switching over to an authoritarian style for sons. Similarly, mothers may use a more authoritative style when they parent their daughters. Also, mothers spent more time reasoning with their daughters but mothers tended to favor their sons.
