3 Parenting Styles

Parenting Styles

Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them. - James Baldwin

Are you a democrat, a dictator, or an independent? What is your parenting style? 

  Democrat: You respect the views of your child and at the same time, you insist on your child to do what is right. You communicate freely with your child and you expect nothing less in his appropriate behavior in line with his age. When you bring up your child this way he will grow up to be independent and self-assured. He is curious about self-control and likes to mix around with others. 

  Dictator: You exercise your absolute power as parents and you do not encourage opinion from your child. You do not show much affection. You child will grow up to be unsatisfied, unsecured, worried, suspicious and he will not like to make friend with others.

  Independent: There are no rules at home and you don’t expect anything from your child. There are no clear guidelines for reward or punishment. You do not take the trouble to promote the spirit of self-reliance and self-supporting in your child. Your child will very much rely on others. He is unable to control himself and hesitates to act. 

 The way you rear your child will shape his or her future behavior.

“Encourage and support your kids because children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.” — Lady Bird Johnson, former First Lady of the United States
