Do-Now: Describe the role of a parent. What is he/she responsible for doing? What is he/she NOT responsible for doing? What qualities make someone a successful and effective parent? Explain.
Today: 1) What are the FOUR types of parenting styles?
Authoritarian
In this style of parenting, children are expected to follow the
strict rules established by the parents. Failure to follow such rules usually
results in punishment (sometimes physical.) Authoritarian parents fail to
explain the reasoning behind these rules. If asked to explain, the parent might
simply reply, "Because I said so."
Consequences: Children of
authoritarian parents may become followers and depend on others for making
decisions. They may develop low self-esteem, become aggressive or defiant.
Permissive
Permissive parents, sometimes referred to as indulgent parents,
have very few demands to make of their children. These parents rarely
discipline their children because they have relatively low expectations of
maturity and self-control. Permissive
parents are generally nurturing and communicative with their children, often
taking on the status of a friend more than that of a parent.
Consequences: Children of permissive
parents may have low self-control and little ability to handle frustration.
They may remain immature and have difficulty accepting responsibility. They may also be more likely to have problems
with authority and perform poorly in school.
Neglectful
An uninvolved parenting style is characterized by few demands,
low responsiveness and little communication. While these parents fulfill the
child's basic needs, they are generally detached from their child's life. In
extreme cases, these parents may even reject or neglect the needs of their
children.
Consequences: Children of neglectful
parents may face many challenges, including difficulties with skill
development, trust and self-esteem.
Authoritative
Like authoritarian parents, those with an authoritative
parenting style establish rules and guidelines that their children are expected
to follow. However, this parenting style is much more democratic. Authoritative
parents are responsive to their children and willing to listen to questions. When
children fail to meet the expectations, these parents are more nurturing and
forgiving rather than punishing.
Authoritative parents are firm, fair, and consistent and encourage their
children to be independent. They also
give their children choices to teach children to think for themselves.
Result: Children of
authoritative parents are likely to be responsible, independent, have high
self-esteem and able to control their aggressive impulses. This style of
parenting provides a balance between setting appropriate limits and granting
independence to the child. It is this style of parenting that provides warmth
and supportive guidance.
