Self-awareness
Parenting style (Maccoby and Martin, 1983) represents standard strategies that parent use in their child rearing. Parenting style is affected by both parents' and children's personality, not only the parents. Parenting style is about parents’ level of demanding and responsiveness toward child. There are 4 parenting styles which are Authoritative/Propagative, Authoritarian/Totalitarian, Permissive/Indulgent and Neglectful/ Uninvolved.
In this article, neglectful style will only be discussed. For the style of neglectful, parents are both low on demanding and responsiveness towards their child. They pay less time and attention on their child. No stress, encouragement and warmth will be given to the child in this parenting style of neglectful. From the research of Parenting Style and Adolescents’ Self-esteem in Brazil (Martinez & Garcia, 2007), adolescents form Neglectful families scored lower Self-esteem than others in different dimensions like academic and social.
Parenting style affect some of the demotion of Core self-evaluation (CSE) (Judge, Locke and Durham, 1997). CSE represents a stable personality trait including 4 elements which are locus of control, Neuroticism, Generalized self-efficacy and Self-esteem. In this article, I will mainly talk about locus of control and self-esteem.
Locus of control (Rotter, 1954) refers to the extent of individuals believing that they can control events that affect them. It can be divided into internal and external locus of control. Internal locus of control is that people believes they can control their own life. So, they are less likely to blame others or past things. Meanwhile, they would rather take action and cope with bad situations. They live happier because they be...

...which aims to enhance my chance of getting into university.
Meanwhile, my self-esteem became higher than before. I always thinks that I am not a fool and I start consider myself equal in dignity to others even I am only an associate degree student. I start to believe in myself that if I pay full attention on study, I can get high mark of G.P.A. Then I can study bachelor degree program like all of my friend. From now on, I get the highest G.P.A. in my group of friends. Although I have not received any offer from local University yet, I still believe that university will accept my application after interview. Now, I only think that I am only a bit late to be a University student than my friends.
Even I did not growth in the best family with the best parenting style and being a low self-esteem person, I can still work hard to change to be the person I want to be.
How do different parenting styles affect our children? Diana Baumrind conducted a study to help answer this question. She breaks down parenting into four different styles. One of these styles is Authoritative parenting. This type of parenting involves being nurturing, responsive and involved all while having high expectations. One other parenting style is uninvolved parenting. Uninvolved parenting is quite the opposite of Authoritative parenting. These parents are normally detached from their children. The way one chooses to parent their child really molds the child into who they will be as they grow older.
A parent’s parenting styles are as diverse as the world we live in today. Nowadays, parents only want what is best for their children and their parenting styles plays a crucial role in the development of children which will in the long run, not only effect the child’s childhood years, but later prolong into their adult life as well.
Growing up, two group of people, parents, and grandparents, took the time and the energy to raise me. Both of them had different approaches when raising me. These approaches were different parenting styles. According to Baumrind, parenting style was the “[capturing] normal variations in parents’ attempts to control and socialize their children” (Darling, 1999). To put it simply, parenting style goal was to lecture, influence, and discipline a child. In general, there are four parenting styles with their own specific benefits and disadvantages. Furthermore, parenting style, granted the dynamic of the family was understood, can be identified in families.
Parenting styles are very diverse and you can come across many depending on the parent. Raising a child can be very challenging and a huge responsibility on the parent, because many people often question what goes on in the child’s home. It is also often said that what a child is experiencing or learning in their home is how they will behave in public. The style of parenting can affect how the child socialize with others and even how well they are able to deal with life situations as they get older. There are four different parenting styles that are often used today, authoritative, neglectful, permissive, and authoritarian. Diana Baumrind, a psychologist who conducted research on parenting styles. Baumrind, came up with three of the four parenting
Parenting styles have been widely defined by Baumrind into three categories, authoritative, authoritarian and permissive. Parenting styles can be defined as a pattern of attitudes in how parents choose to express and communicate with their children. These styles are categorized based on the level of nurturance, parental control and level of responsiveness (Dwairy, 2004). Authoritative style exhibits high levels of demand, responsiveness and nurturance; authoritarian style exhibits high levels of demand but low levels of responsiveness, permissive style exhibits low levels of demand but high in responsiveness and nurturance (Dwairy, 2004). These parenting styles have been proposed to have a significant impact on a child’s development as well as academic achievement and psychological well-being. Children reared by authoritative parents are stated to have the highest levels of academic achievement, self-esteem, emotional adjustment and well-being according to Baumrind’s category of styles (Dwairy, 2004). However, these three categories are based on Western samples and have been said to describe parenting styles mainly in the West and question its limitations in describing parenting across cultures, as each style’s defining patterns may have different meanings across cultures.
There are four kind of parenting styles. They are as follows; authoritative, authoritarian, indulgent and neglectful parents. These article made me think about what kind of parenting styles I used in raising my children. The authors made good point about how we are raising our children in regards to the overprotected kid or why are kid going to therapy in adulthood. Because we as parent did to much and would not let them feel hurt, solve problems and would not let them experience failure.

With over three hundred million Americans and over six billion people worldwide parenting skills are essential to maintain a healthy society. Parenting involves many aspects and requires many skills. It is a time to nurture, instruct, and correct to develop fundamental skills children will need to be mature, responsible, and contributing adults to a society. There are four commonly identified parenting styles; authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, and uninvolved parenting. Of the four parenting styles, two remain on opposite ends of the parenting spectrum. These two styles; authoritarian, and permissive both have deleterious results that are often visible throughout different developmental stages, such as rebellious behavior. As well each style has its own advantages such as; acceptance by peers with commonality. Child rearing for most parents is an evolving set of skills. It could be said that, with any style of parenting, there is no explicit set of rules for every situation, and what works for one child may not be effective for another.
In the previous study, Milevsky, Schlechter, Klem, and Kehl (2008) states that adolescence with either both parents are neglectful parenting style or one of the parent is neglectful parenting style score lower on self-esteem than adolescence without neglectful parenting style parent. In daily life, parents that let their children involve in making family decision lead their children to higher self-esteem level than parents that only want their children obey without giving any reason. Parents with authoritative parenting style are more flexible, openness to discussion and also willing to compromise toward their children. In a sample of 230 college student, Buri, Louiselle, Misukanis and Mueller (1988) found that
The first type of parenting style is called authoritarian. In this parenting style the parents are the boss. They make strict rules and they enforce them. They focus more on restrictions than a loving relationship with their child. They believe it is their job as parents to catch their children being bad and punish them. These parents use external control on their children instead of taking time to tell the kid what they did wrong and why they should not do it again. Something these parents do not realize is that they do not catch their kids being good. Authoritarian parents are firm and unsympathetic. Authoritarian parents love to use discipline.
Baumrind suggests four categories of parenting style based on four determining factors: Control, clarity of communication, maturity demands and nurturance. The four categories represent high or low levels of the four factors above; although there are also individual variations as every parenting style is different and may even fall into two categories. Parenting styles may also change as family circumstances or personal views and attitudes change, or as children grow older (Hoffnung et al.,
Parents and their parenting style play an important role in the development of their child. In fact, many child experts suggest that parenting style can affect a child’s social, cognitive, and psychological development which influence not just their childhood years, but it will also extend throughout their adult life. This is because a child’s development takes place through a number of stimuli, interaction, and exchanges that surround him or her. And since parents are generally a fixed presence in a child’s life, they will likely have a significant part on the child’s positive or negative development (Gur 25).
Core self- evaluations are defined as basic conclusions or bottom-line evaluations that individuals hold about themselves (Judge & Bono, 2001). They are seen as important judgements individuals make about their self-confidence and their competences. Core self-evaluations are further broken down into four definite personality traits, namely- self-esteem, generalized self-efficacy, locus of control and emotional stability. With respect to the Big Five, these four personality traits are all linked.
Parenting styles are as diverse as parents themselves. Parenting is one of the most challenging and difficult responsibilities a person can face. The way a family is structured is called the parenting style. Parenting styles are collections of parental attitudes, practices, and non-verbal expressions that characterize the nature of parent-child relationships. Because individuals learn how to parent from many different examples including their own parents, role models, society and life experiences. Parenting techniques can vary greatly from household to household, however, experts believe that parenting styles can be broken down into four main categories which include permissive,authoritarian,authoritative,and neglectful.
There are different types of parenting styles that coincide with each other. For example, uninvolved parenting can be compared to neglecting, and rejecting parent styles. Permissive parenting can be compared to both over-indulging and over-submissive parenting styles. These parenting styles just over all go more in-depth. As long as someone understands the major parenting styles, they can begin to learn the different
