Document Summary
Diana baumrind"s classification of parenting patterns: different dimensions lead to different parenting behaviours, depends on whether parents are high or low in terms of warmth or control. Authoritative: responsible children; self-confident and self- controlled. Authoritarian: parents that are very demanding that place a high value on performing; little communication between parent and child; child is expected to perform or behave the way the parent wishes; they have no say. These children were rated by peers and teachers as very unhappy, withdrawn, anxious. Permissive: parents are overly tolerant; child makes all decisions; parents had children that were seen as relatively immature; children lacked attention; these children throw tantrums when they are told no when they want to do something. Uninvolved: little commitment by parents, other than taking care of basic needs of child; these parents are overwhelmed by other stuff so they keep distance from the child.
