Document Summary
There are 4 parenting styles identified by baumrind and updated by maccoby. Authoritarian controlling, punitive, rigid, cold; word = law. Value strict, unquestioning obedience from child; do not tolerate expressions of disagreement. Withdrawn, little sociability, not very friendly, behave uneasily around peers. Girls dependent on parents; boys unusually hostile. Do not see themselves as holding much responsibility for how their children turnout. Place little or no limits or control on child"s behaviour. Share undesirable characteristics of children of authoritarian parents. Dependent, moody; low in social skills and self-control. Authoritative firm, set clear and consistent limits. Strict but also loving and emotionally supportive. Try to reason w/ children; give explanations for why child should behave certain way; communicate rationale for punishment they impose. Regulate behaviour effectively rel"ship w/ others and emotional self-regulation. Supportive parenting warmth, proactive teaching, calm discussion during disciplinary episodes, interest/involvement in child"s peer activities. Children show better adjustment and are better protected from consequences of later adversity.
