  3. Temperament Matters • Children also have styles called temperaments. • Parenting is interactive; a child’s temperament and their parent’s style of parenting mesh, each affecting the other.

  4. Authoritarian Parenting • Authoritarian parents are strict and highly controlling. • They set high standards and expect obedience and maturity from their children. • They expect their rules to be followed and not to be questioned. • Authoritarian parents love their children but can seem aloof, rarely showing affection.

  5. Authoritarian Example: “Because I said so!” “My way or the highway!” “You’ll do as I say when I say it!”

  6. Effects of Authoritarian Parenting • Children with Authoritarian parents tend to be quiet, obedient, and stay out of trouble. • They feel guilty and depressed, internalizing their frustrations. • They lack self esteem, confidence, spontaneity, and curiosity. • They tend to be socially withdrawn and have difficulties forming relationships. • As adolescents, they sometimes rebel, leaving home before age 20.

  7. Permissive/Indulgent Parenting • Permissive parents are warm and accepting but exert little control over their children. • Very low levels of maturity and demands are required of their children. • Extensive parent-child communication but little discipline. • Parent is more of a friend than a disciplinary figure. • They are supportive, but do not feel responsible for shaping their children.

  8. Effects of Permissive Parenting • These children are impulsive and lack self control. • They tend to be selfish and immature because they’re not taught how their actions affect others. • They tend to achieve less at school and have trouble forming relationships. • They usually maintain a good relationship with their parents into adulthood.

  9. Authoritative Parenting • They demand maturity but are more forgiving than punishing if the child does something wrong. • Authoritative parents consider themselves more as guides rather than authorities or friends. • Authoritative parents are firm but kind. They set limits and use natural consequences to help their children learn. • They set high standards and encourage independence.

  10. Effects of Authoritative Parenting • They cope well with stress and regulate their emotions well. • Teachers and peers usually like these children. • This parenting style gives the best outcomes. This child is cheerful, self-controlled, lively and self-reliant. • The have good self confidence, are achievement orientated and socially successful.

  11. Uninvolved/Neglectful Parenting • Uninvolved parents demand little and respond minimally. • There are no rules for the child but also no communication or encouragement from the parent. • Parents don’t know what their kids are doing and seem not to care. • This parenting style is often associated with neglect and abuse.

  12. Effects of Uninvolved Parenting • Like children of authoritarian parents, these children are socially withdrawn and lack self esteem. • They are not securely emotionally attached to their parents and this leads to confusion and depression. • They are more likely to engage in anti-social and/or risky behavior. Many exhibit antisocial behavior and may end up as criminals. • They are the worst performing of all the parenting styles. • The combination of permissiveness and indifference or rejection in varying degrees has detrimental effects on children.

  13. “Children everywhere benefit if they believe that their parents appreciate them; by the same token, children everywhere suffer if they feel rejected and unwanted.” (Berger, Kathleen Stassen. Invitation to the Life Span. New York: Worth, 2010. Print.)
