Parents are to permissive with their children nowadays.

More often parents are said to be much more permissive than they were in the past. Surely it is true for long ago children weren’t allowed to speak with their parents like with their peers. Kids had a huge respect for elders. Parents were more their masters than friends. There were an enormous distance between young and adults what we can see in many old films and books. Gradually this attitude between them has undergone changes since than. But can we confirm that parents become too permissive? I believe that this is true in some cases, but not always. On one hand, I suppose that children talk with their parents about every subject. Nowadays there don’t exist taboo subjects in family conversation. Thanks to this, children usually can tell their parents everything, if their elders are tolerate enough. But does it mean that they are to permissive, I don’t think so. In my opinion, grown-up should let their child make their choice and if they bring up the child good enough, he doesn’t abuse his freedom which is given to him by parents. It should be emphasized that every child want to be independent and if we don’t trusted him and can’t assure some freedom for him, he is likely to take it by himself without our consent. I believe that the problem is not in permissiveness, but in negligence and laxity. If we show our child love and if we care for him without spoiling, there is no denying that he will be likely to grow up for respectable citizen. There is no use hitting kids for their bad behaviour, but it doesn’t mean that we can’t punish them, but the punishments shouldn’t evoke child’ fear. Adults should provide their child with security and warmth. I’m convinced that child who feels safety and love at home, is the happiest child in the world and he wouldn’t do anything against his parents if somebody want to lead him astray. It isn’t true that parents have to give up own happiness, loving family is always

    Today even, parents don’t have time for their kids too. They are also busy in their work, business. They don’t have time to teach their children the moral values, behaviour. They keep themselves so busy that they almost forget about their children. If any child or teen ager has any problem and he or she wants to discuss with parents, for that parents don’t have any time to listen to or discuss that problem. Parents want to give every comfort of life to their kids and like this they make themselves so busy that they even cannot get enough time to spend with their children, to listen to them. They forget to tell them about their great moral teaching, values those play a great role to make a person's life happy. They just want them study these values but don’t teach them how to use these small things in their life. That is also a reason that children only think about themselves and they also…

    Baumrind (1967) suggests that the majority of parents display one of three different parenting styles. Authoritarian is the first style of parenting considered by Baumrind. This is where the parent uses strict discipline and leaves no opportunity for the child to negotiate. An example of a phrase used by an authoritarian parent may be “No you can not”, however, this may lead to the child rebelling at some point, therefore making it hard to impose rules. Permissive, The second parenting style, relies on imposing few rules or boundaries, the impact of which may be both negative and positive. The positive impact of this approach is that it may lead to better social skills. Alternatively the negative impact may be that the child could lack personal responsibility. To paraphrase, an example a parent may use with this parenting style may be “Well if you do not feel like it”, however, Baumrind contests that if a child’s behavior needs to be altered it may be difficult to do so with this parenting style. The third parenting style considered by Baumrind is authoritative. This is where the parents set clear standards and no punitive punishments.…

    Lastly for parenting styles we look at the influence permissive parents have on their children. Permissive parents are warm and loving but, do not set any rules or restrictions on their children. Parents who are this free with restrictions do not mean to but, do poorly effect a child's outcome. Children who come from permissive households also do poorly in academics and socially. Further more these children are self centered, aggressive and have a poor moral compasses.…

    However, there are few to no rules set for the children and this parenting style tends to be considered “pushovers” because they do not want to upset the child. Permissive parents tend to compromise the rules and expectations set to avoid confrontation, and they are more of a friend than a parent more times then not. Although a child might think that a permissive parenting style is the best because there aren't set boundaries or consequences, but permissive parenting can have long-term damaging effects. These damaging effects could be insecurity in the children because of having no set boundaries, poor social skills because of lack of discipline, self-centeredness, poor academic success because of lack of motivation or clashing with authority because they never had to…

    There is a vast difference between parental over-involvement and under-involvement. Provided were examples of over-involved parents who use harsh rules and unattainable expectations to parent adolescents. Under-involvement parenting styles are described as parenting that lacks warm and is avoided, or in other words the parents will overlook or avoid the disciplinary actions that come with parenting and focus on being the adolescents “casual” friend, this is also known as permissive or neglectful parenting (Story, 2011). For this paper, warmth is defined as acceptance between child-parent relationships. Neglectful parents tend to lack the basics of finding rules and regulations for their adolescent children to follow, which will help them behave…

    “Children from these homes are often irritable, belligerent, and hyperactive” (Benokraitis 339). Permissive parents are the opposite because they are warm and supportive. Their children are not required to behave orderly or complete household tasks. Adolescents raised in permissive “households are often less mature, less responsible, and less able to assume leadership positions in adulthood” (Benokraitis 340).…

    People who practice permissive or indulgent parenting have low control and high responsiveness. They allow their children to be self-directed and to make many of their own choices at a young age. Permissive parents set very few limits on their children and generally do not give them any household responsibilities. These parents believe that they are encouraging their children to be free thinkers and to make their own decisions. The children of permissive parents are often rebellious, disobedient and easily discouraged and they also show undesirable behaviours, such as temper tantrums and disrespect for authority figures.…

    (Kopko, 2007), A permissive parenting style can be summarized by having a increased level of nurturance with decreased levels of maturity demands from children. Permissiveness can result in a difficulty with demands from the child, lack of control to the child and from the child, and also a lack of communication from the parent to child and vice versa. Overall the main problem that comes from a child that was grown into adolescence with a permissive parenting style in independence. Permissive parenting styles make children very independent of their parents with anything that becomes problematic. With unproblematic issues, the child will make their own decisions with little input from the parent at an age that he or she is not ready to do so. The permissive parenting style can be comforting with accepting and understanding parents, but most likely the parent is uninvolved. With a lack of involvement during middle childhood, a child will often require bribery for good behavior. The child will not take rules seriously, which can result in complications with social skills, insecurity, and a lack of self-discipline. A permissive parenting style sometimes can be view from other families as a functional family, but there are many dangerous consequences…

    The article closely correlates to information from chapter 7 of our text, of different parenting styles. The article shows the trend in parenting is changing to what the book calls permissive parenting. Permissive parenting offers warmth and caring but little parental control. With this type of parenting, the child is allowed pretty much whatever they want, whenever they want. Only occasionally will the parent try to punish or withhold anything from the child and when they do it is ineffective. There is also a connection between the text and article about the outcome of permissive and uninvolved parenting. The article talks about the growing number of suspensions, sometimes as early as preschool; the text talks about children of permissive parents being impulsive and having little self control.…

    In recent years, much data has shown that parenting styles exercise a strong influence on child development and behaviour. The initial choice of parenting style creates the foundation for the child’s psychological and social development. Parents can choose from different approaches in raising their child; they can be strict, moderate or lenient. Authoritarian parents are characterized as being demanding and controlling and intolerant of their child’s bad behaviour (Aslam and Sartaj, 2001). On the other hand, authoritative parents are also defined as demanding but are more understanding as regards to the child’s failures and will try setting guidelines rather than strict rules. Furthermore, permissive parents are described as being non-restrictive and imposing few rules on the child. This parenting style is considered as being lenient and “laid back”. As the child matures, he will be influenced by the way he was raised and that will have an impact on his education, social life and character. I would like to investigate the impact of parenting styles on a child’s development.…

    Childhood Best Friend

    My childhood best friend and her family hosted a foreign exchange student when we were in middle school. He was a couple years older than us but I got to know him pretty well in the time he spent studying in America. One of the things that I remember the most about him being “culturally” different was his view of importance of eating as a family at least twice a day. I remember after he moved in, my best friend’s family started to eat breakfast together and either lunch or dinner together as well. I also noticed he had a bigger concern of global warming and being environmentally friendly than most Americans. He recycled and I never saw him throw a piece of trash on the ground ever. One difference that I found quit humorous was his fear of becoming sick. It was kind of over the top. If someone started to get a cold he would go on a Lysol spree killing any germ that came in his path. “The exchange of greetings is the most ordinary, everyday use of language and gesture found universally” and I noticed that he greeted everyone just about the same way as I did (Scupin, 105). For the most part, he was a normal teenager but I definitely saw differences here and there that reminded me he was from another culture.…
