3 Main Types Parents come in all different shapes, sizes, and colors. They come from a variety of backgrounds and traditions. Individuals learn how to parent from their own parents, from role models, and from society. Their experiences shape the way they relate to their children and the way they relate to the outside world. The way a family is structured is called the parenting style.
Authoritarian parents are very strict.
They have many rules. Authoritarian parents will yell, blame, and threaten their children to get what they want. The children are not allowed to ask questions or to have their own opinions. Because they are expected to obey, they do not learn to think for themselves or to make good decisions. This parenting style is like a brick wall.
