Authoritative Parenting
Parents who practice authoritative parenting have clear expectations of their children, but are also responsive, nurturing, and willing to collaborate to meet individual needs. Instead of strict punishment, authoritative parents use natural consequences, guidance, and discussion to remediate behaviors and establish boundaries. Research supports the efficacy of authoritative parenting and it is touted as the ideal parenting style for good reason. With parental confidence, flexibility, reliability, and consideration, kids tend to be more self-reliant, socially competent, and have higher self-esteem and academic achievement.
Authoritarian Parenting
Parents who practice authoritarian parenting are highly demanding and directive. They have strict expectations and require compliance without much explanation or flexibility. Punishment, lectures, and raised voices are often used to enforce rules. Parents may be encouraged by superficial obedience (obedience to avoid punishment), but their kids tend to struggle with low self-esteem, social competence, anxiety, and decision-making abilities due to the lack of autonomy, collaboration, and empathetic parental response.
Permissive Parenting
Parents who practice permissive parenting are highly responsive and accommodating to their children, but have few demands or expectations. Rules and boundaries are not enforced, and kids are often appeased for poor behavior or emotional distress which can lead to the unintentional reinforcement of maladaptive behaviors. Kids may exhibit increased independence and creativity under this parenting style, but they also tend to struggle with self-regulation, discipline, anxiety, and authority due to lack of structure.
Disengaged Parenting
Parents who practice disengaged parenting are neither demanding nor responsive, and they provide little to no emotional support, guidance, or attention to the child’s needs. Due to lack of parental presence or investment in the child’s life, rules and boundaries are not enforced. Under this parenting style, kids may experience emotional and behavioral difficulties, have low self-esteem, and struggle academically and socially due to the lack of parental involvement.
