Three Parenting Styles

Diana Baumrind is a developmental psychologist who founded the findings of three parenting styles known as authoritarian, permissive, and authoritative from 1967 to 1971 (Berger, 2016). However later on other researchers discovered that there was another parenting style known as neglectful parenting (Berger, 2016). Each of these styles have their own view, teachings, and opinions on how to raise their child and care for them.

To begin with, authoritarian parenting is a style where parents view themselves as having the final say so in everything (Berger, 2016). This type of parent believes that they are the ones in charge and because of that, everything has to be their way or the highway. This means that their child has to listen to them and
In this parenting style, they are considered to be the perfect standard for parenting. This is because they tend to set some boundaries while be flexible at the same. They also listen and forgive their child for their mistakes and help guide them in ways to fix it (Berger, 2016). An example of this would be a child pushing their friend down on the playground. The parent would response by talking to their child and asks them, why did they push their friend. The parent would also tell their child that violence is not the answer since someone could have been hurt and that they should treat their friends like how they want to be treated. In response to this the parent would ask their child to apologize to their friend. With this type of parenting style, children tend to have a greater chance of success and happiness. They are also very social, generous to another, and liked by their teachers and peers (Berger,
This is the type of parent who wants little interaction with their child and could careless about what they do. An example of this would be a teenager who receives Ds and Fs in all her classes. The teachers and school would to talk to the parent about way they could help their child to improve in their classes however the parent would make no effort to do so afterwards. Instead the parent would let their child do whatever as long as they left them alone. For these parenting, they tend to effect child by lowering their self-esteem, self worth, and make them feel like no one loves or care about them (Hoskins, 2014). Some findings have also learned that child with neglectful parenting style tend to act out by vandalizing, becoming thieves, etc (Hoskins,
