Several days ago, we discussed the difference between parenting styles and parenting practices. Today, we are digging into those parenting styles a bit deeper! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
There are 4 main dominant parenting styles. Let’s discuss! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
1️⃣. 𝘈𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘯 – Parents who are extremely strict and set high standards and expectations for their children with little responsiveness. ⁣Children of authoritarian parents are at a higher risk of developing self-esteem problems because their opinions aren’t valued.⁣
⁣⁣
2️⃣. 𝘈𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 – Parents who are nurturing, responsive, and supportive; yet set firm limits and rules for their children. ⁣Kids with authoritative parents are likely to become responsible adults who feel comfortable expressing their opinions.⁣
⁣⁣
3️⃣. 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘷𝘦 – Parents who are not demanding. They look at their child as an equal rather than children of a parent. ⁣Kids with permissive parents are likely to struggle academically, and have a higher risk for health problems.⁣
⁣⁣
4️⃣. 𝘜𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘰𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘥 – Parents who have a lack of responsiveness to their child’s needs. They make no demands of their children, and are often indifferent or dismissive. ⁣⁣These types of parents may be neglectful, but it’s not always intentional. A parent with mental health issues or substance abuse problems, may not be able to care for a child’s needs on a consistent basis. Children with uninvolved parents are likely to struggle with self-esteem issues.⁣
