Parenting Styles and Their Effects on Children Many things affect the way a child develops and behaves; such as a person’s gender, family’s financial status, and genes. One of the biggest and most important influence, though, is parenting. The way parents choose to raise their children determines their child’s sense of security, self-esteem, and how they treat others. Not only that, but it can determine whether or not a child will have a successful future. Many parenting styles exist; all of them having many positive and negative aspects. In the following the four different types of parenting and how they affect children will be discussed. Everybody has their own unique temperament, and sometimes they can clash between a parent and their child. Due to these different temperaments, parents and their children might not get along. Not only that, but some parents are not patient enough to manage and understand their child’s differentiating temperament (Understanding “Goodness of Fit”). How a child reacts in certain situations depends on their temperament, and the same goes with their parents. A parent’s temperament affects the way in which they raise their children. Since each and every parent has a different temperament, they respond differently to their children. The way in which parents control their children’s behavior by using their characteristic tactics is called parenting styles (Boyd & Bee, 2011). According to developmental psychologist Diana Baumrind, a person’s parenting style is made up of four components. The first aspect is the amount of nurturance the child receives (Boyd & Bee, 2011).

Not only that, but they also are more likely to abuse drugs and alcohol (Types of Parenting Styles). Parents have many strategies when it comes to managing the behavior of their children. People’s parenting style depends on the communication between them and their child and the amount of loving care and attention the child receives. It also depends on how clear and consistent the rules are and what the parent expects from the child. Many types of parenting styles exist and affect children in many ways; it has a high correlation with how well the child does in school, violence, sexual activity, depression, and alcohol and substance abuse. Overall, the way parents raise their children plays a big role in how their kids behave.

713 wordsRead More - Different Styles Of Parenting By Diana Baumrindexplanatory essayThere are several different styles of parenting, authoritarian, authoritative, disengaged, and permissive, according to Diana Baumrind with different characteristics and goals. The two quantifiers of the different types of parenting are responsiveness which is the degree that parents are sensitive to their child’s needs and express love, warmth, and concern for them, and demandingness which is the degree that parents set down rules and expectations for behavior and require their children to comply with them (Arnett, 2016). These different styles of parenting produce children with different outcomes in terms of personality and behavior, and that difference is due to the amounts of responsiveness and demandingness that is present in each of the styles. These outcomes of the children will affect them their entire life, from how they raise their children to how they fit in at school and in their culture to their grades and social life.

733 wordsRead More - Parenting stylesopinionated essayDuring Diana Baumrind’s research as a developmental psychologist, she concluded that parents fall under three different styles of parenting: Authoritarian, Permissive, and Authoritative. Baumrind’s styles were based on how one disciplines and nurtures their child (Cherry, n.d., p. 1). Authoritarian parents make discipline the highest priority when raising their children. They do not see any grey area about discipline (Belsky, 2013, p. 205). Rules, and enforcement of rules, are never left up to discussion. Whatever the parent says must go and the child is expected to fully comply. The standards they have set must be lived up to without any exceptions (Cherry, n.d., p. 1). Because the parents are not focused on the child’s emotional needs the parents are often viewed as not very warm and loving (Belsky, 2013, p.205). Permissive parenting is the antithesis of Authoritarian parents. Belsky (2013) stated that permissive parents do not lay down strict rules or discipline. There are not high expectations of how a child should behave or perform. The parents focus is not on rules or reprimanding, but on the child’s own wants and happiness. The parents’ main focus is on nurturing the child’s emotional needs (p.205). In the Authoritative parenting style there are definitely rules and ideas of how the child should behave, but the parents take a more diplomatic approach to parenting. Nothing is ever set in stone and parents negotiate freely with their children about the rules and repercussions. Unlike the Authoritarian style of parenting, these parents have a balance of “both nurturing” and discipline. Parents still have expectations about their children, but understand that they ...
