Parenting Styles and their Effects on Children

In this video, we continue our discussion of developmental–or child–psychology by learning about parenting styles. We'll focus specifically on the outcomes associated with each parenting style, as well as which parenting style is best long term.

Parenting Styles: The standard practices and strategies that parents use in their child rearing; parenting styles vary along two dimensions: warmth (or affection) and control (or structure).

Authoritative Parenting: The first style of parenting in which the parent gives reasonable demands and consistent limits (high control), expresses warmth and affection (high warmth), and listens to the child’s point of view; children of authoritative parents tend to have the best outcomes, including high self-esteem, better grades, and excellent social skills.

Authoritarian Parenting: The second style of parenting in which the parent places high value on conformity and obedience; the parent is strict, tightly monitors children (high control), and expresses little warmth (low warmth).

Permissive Parenting: The third style of parenting in which the children run the show and anything goes; the parent makes few demands and rarely uses punishment (low control), trying to play the role of friend rather than parent (high warmth); permissive parenting is associated with good social outcomes, but poor academic outcomes and often substance abuse problems later in life.

Uninvolved Parenting: The fourth style of parenting, sometimes referred to as neglectful parenting, in which the parent is indifferent, uninvolved, and sometimes neglectful; the parent does not respond to the child’s needs and makes very few demands; uninvolved parenting is associated with the poorest outcomes for children.

I'm here trying to figure out my parents' parenting style and I think it's a mixed bag. I think at least mom tried to be authoritative, but it came off more as authoritarian, no privacy, high expectations, on the good days and practically like she wasn't even there on the bad days. All the days became bad days when I just stopped talking to her about anything. She told me to shut up once, haven't broken that silence in a decade. All I really remember from dad when I was a small kid was that he would go to work early, come back hours after the rest of us, and just watch tv or yell when he was actually home. So yeah, I never really bonded with him that much, just the occasional time he'd take us swimming or play mario kart wii with us, or when he read science and mechanics magazines for bedtime stories before I learned to read. The thing is, I know they tried their best, I know mom has had untreated depression at least since I was 4 and got it treated just last year, I know dad's had depression for ages too and only gotten it under control in the past couple years. I know that they're good people, and that makes it feel so shit to never want to see them again, to not bare going to their place where I grew up because the flashbacks are so strong, to accept that they were part of the reason I got fucked up. To accept being bullied for six years wasn't the only problem, that there were problems before that, before I was 6. To accept that even though my childhood ended when I was 6, 5 years-old, which is too early for anyone, even my childhood wasn't as happy and healthy I thought it had been for ages. To accept that I don't know what healthy relationships and a healthy self image are because I never had them, so I have no idea of knowing if mine are healthy. Parents, raise your kids well.

My mom is Authoritarian and my dad is Uninvolved, the outcomes are very accurate.

I am currently an ECE student, thank you for your representation of this topic, extremely helpful, caused me to reflect on my upbringing as well as the parent I have now because.

[RealBradMiller]

Been living with authoritarian and uninvolved at the same time. It's kind of funny when you think about it.

[virupakshadevaramane]

Thank you very much for this time and effort . It gives a clear idea on the topic. You're in my today's gratitude list

[zJatt]

what a great video with full explaination. Thanks

[parentingbeyondbehaviours]

Thank you for recognizing the cultural differences and the fact that Authoritarian can result in the same as authoritative depending on the living circumstances. Great video

[virupakshadevaramane]

Thank you Daniel Storage for this video. It gave a clear idea on the topic and helped me to convey it better for the group I explained it yesterday. May many get helped through your rich knowledge.

Hey there! When it comes to parenting styles, finding the right balance is key. Be loving and supportive, but don't forget to set boundaries too. Your parenting approach can have a lasting impact on your child's life. Show them empathy, communicate openly, and be a positive role model. It'll help shape their confidence, resilience, and overall happiness as they grow up. 👌🏻

Very honestly, I cant pinpoint which my mother (only parent) was. I feel like she was constantly switching between the 4. I grew up to be anxious, very depressed, diagnosed with BPD, struggle with self motivation and self discipline, having big problems with making decisions (even small, like, what should we do or what phone should i get - i usually ask my bf of 5 years to choose for me because i just CANT make the decision and feel anxious and overwhelmed with it).
I was definitely showered with nice toys, clothes and holidays upon the sea every year but the emotional warmth was very low. Id say a literal on and off switch between permissive, uninvolved and autoritative.

[paigef]

I'm definitely a permissive parent who tries to be more authoritative. I'm just so bad at it and hard to take serious. Trying to find videos to help but not having much luck.

[aliciabee]

very useful information about parenting.

[alyssacaputo]

My mom is permissive and my dad is authoritarian and I turned out to be a people pleaser with anxiety 😂💀

[elderxemo]

I grew up with a warm persistent mother. I got in trouble several times.

Now I feel loads of anxiety if separated from my mom for more than a day. It's weird asf to feel this way when things like seperation becomes a factor.

My parents are a mix of authoritarian and uninvolved. Now I care more about good grades than my mental and/or physical health, I take forever to admit that I need help, always think that I'm faking it and that others have it worse and I seem to jump from one addiction to a bad coping mechanism to the next; I'm talking alcohol, pain meds, self harm, sleeping to escape reality, the list goes on. I just get a bad coping mechanism, realise that I'm hurting myself, force myself out of it and then just fall back into it or another bad coping mechanism. It feels like a cycle that I can't escape.
