...d controversies that make it an ineffective and devaluing means of disciplining. Because there are so many different people and cultures in the world, there are many different ways of raising a child. While it is hard to stick to certain guidelines to parent (since children are so unpredictable), it is important to explore and implement different ways to discipline in order to raise a well-rounded and virtuous child.

- The Importance Of Developmental Psychology On Children's Developmentexplanatory essayBaumrind (1967, 1971) proposed that the effectiveness of parenting styles for children’s personality development reflects two aspects: parental warmth which refers to the degree to which parents are accepting and responsive of their children’s behavior as opposed to being unresponsive and rejecting. This includes qualities such as responsiveness, warmth, availability. The other aspect is parental control which refers to the degree to which parents manage their children’s behavior—from being very controlling to setting few rules and demands which features qualities such as demandingness, monitoring, consistent discipline. (Kopko, 2007). Based on these assumptions, Baumrind distinguished between three qualitatively different types of parenting styles each which encompasses various emotional elements and with implications for children’s emotional and personality development. (Kordi & Baharudin, 2010). Authoritative parenting style entails clear and firm direction to children. Authoritative parents utilize firm, consistent control, centered around integrating the child into the family and society. Communication styles with children are characterized by warmth, clarity, reciprocality, and verbal give and take between parent and child. (Cummings, Davies & Campbell,
