Document Summary
Six distinct parenting patterns: authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, traditional. Forceful means are frequently used to gain their children"s compliance to rules. Indulgent parenting-- an excessively lax parenting pattern wherein parents do not exercise sufficient control over their children: highest in involvement with their children and lowest in strictness with their children, have few clear expectations for their children. In both non-western families and in american ethnic minority families, we frequently see a style of child socialization that although often labeled as authoritarian actually falls somewhere between authoritarian and authoritative. In ethnic minority families, an important component of the traditional parenting pattern is racial socialization, which acts as a buffer against negative racial messages in society: providing a home that is rich in racial culture. It is beneficial when professionals understand a stricter approach to discipline in these families is balanced by higher levels of emotional support.
