A parenting style is a way of bringing up your child with a specific approach. The parenting style you adopt may differ based on your personality and preferences, or maybe it could depend on your child.<\/p>\n
There are four types of parenting styles, most of which have been outlined by legendary psychologist Diana Baumrind.<\/p>\n
The three types outlined by Baumrind include the ‘Authoritarian’ style, the ‘Authoritative’ style, and the ‘Permissive’ style.<\/p>\n
After further research was carried out on this topic, a fourth style was added to this list by psychologists John Martin and Eleanor Maccoby. This style was known as ‘Uninvolved’ or ‘Neglectful’ parenting.<\/p>\n
Research has shown that these four parenting styles may have a huge effect on a child\u2019s educational success and career path.<\/p>\n
a study<\/a> conducted at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences found a negative correlation between the authoritarian parenting style and a child\u2019s educational success. Results also showed us that there was a significant positive correlation between a ‘Firm’ style and the child\u2019s career path.<\/p>\n

Types of parenting styles<\/p><\/div>\n
The styles of parenting that Baumrind outlined vary depending on the 2 main factors\u2014’Responsiveness’\u00bb and ‘Demandingness’.<\/p>\n
The difference in styles was decided based on whether a parent was a highly responsive or low-responsive parent, and whether they were a highly demanding or low-demanding parent.<\/p>\n
Understanding your personal parenting style is the first step to becoming an effective parent. There are several recognized types of parenting styles that have been studied extensively in the field of child development. These distinct parenting styles can significantly shape a child’s upbringing and future outlook.<\/p>\n
Authoritative<\/h3>\n
Described in 3 words: Supportive, Firm, Fair.<\/strong><\/p>\n
The authoritative parenting style is coined by its high responsiveness and high demandingness.<\/p>\n
This style of parenting involves the parent offering an abundance of support to their child. This involves the parents helping their child to progress and become the best version of themselves, guiding them to become successful.<\/p>\n
The authoritative style also implements high standards for behavior and attitude\u2014this style demands the child to respect their parents. There are set rules involved that your child should follow, however, the rules are always fully explained so your child can acknowledge the meaning behind them.<\/p>\n
When following this style of parenting, you\u2019re ensuring that you\u2019re consistently building a positive parent-child relationship<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Out of the 3 parenting styles founded by Baumrind, this was her favorite. The authoritative style brings together strict rules, emotional support, and guidance to help your child grow into the best version of themselves.<\/p>\n
