Parenting a child depends heavily on one's culture. People parent different ways because of the societal influences as well as how they too grew up as a child. There are 4 different parenting styles authoritative, neglectful, permissive, and authoritarian style. Diana Baumrind heavily influenced these four different types of styles.
Authoritative Parenting ( high responsiveness x high demandingness
- typically a child coming up by this type of parent is loving, caring, but firm - this type of parents explains to you the "why" - this type of parenting is thought to be the best type of parenting out there |
Authoritarian Parenting ( low responsiveness x high demaningness)
- typically a child coming up by this type of parent - typically a child coming up by this type of parent has little to no wiggle room. - this type of parent is the "because I said so" type of parents and will typically not stand for backtalk |
Permissive Parenting ( high responsiveness x low demandingness)
- although very loving this type of parent doesn't have very many rules - children with authoritative or authoritarian parents love visiting the house of these parents |
Neglectful Parenting ( Low responsiveness x low demandingness)
- this type of parent gets a F in parenting - this type of parents doesn't care what so ever what happens to their children - this type of parent should be reported to child services |
What I learned
Children experience growth at different times. They need parents to help guide them in the proper direction. Children need an environment where one's parent isn't too permissive yet they are not an authoritarian as well. Children need constancy. They need to be raised in a home that has that. |
How will understanding parenting styles help me development throughout my career? : As a nurse one cares for people of all ages. Parenting plays a big role in what/how a child receives you or even how adults receive you. Parenting styles impact nurses through manners, what type of care one will receive, and how one is expected to perform one's job. I feel that sometimes I will have to accommodate parents whom are involved with there child(s) more then a permissive parent whom is neglectful to the child.
