302 Parenting Styles

The document describes four parenting styles: permissive indifferent, permissive indulgent, authoritarian, and authoritative. Permissive indifferent parenting is uninvolved and places little demands or control on children, associated with lack of self-control. Permissive indulgent parenting is highly involved but places few demands, associated with spoiled behavior and inability to follow rules. Authoritarian parenting demands strict obedience and control with little discussion, linked to anxiety and poor social skills. Authoritative parenting encourages independence through warm discussion and limits, linked to well-adjusted, socially responsible children.

PERMISSIVE INDIFFERENT is a style in which the parent is relatively uninvolved in the


child's life. This style is associated with socially incompetent behavior, especially a lack
of self-control. Children do not develop a good sense of independence. Parental
behaviors: Undemanding. Little control. Rejecting. Unresponsive. Parent-centered. (It's
10:00 PM. Do you know where your child is?) [Non Demanders]
PERMISSIVE INDULGENT is a style in which parents are highly involved with their children
but place few demands or controls on them. Permissive-indulgent parenting, like
permissive-indifferent, is also associated with children's social incompetence and lack of
self-control. The spoiled child syndrome. Inability to follow rules. Parental behaviors:
Undemanding. Little control. Accepting. Responsive. Child-centered. [Low Demanders]
AUTHORITARIAN parenting is a restrictive, punitive style that exhorts the child to follow the
parent's directions and to respect work and effort. The authoritarian parent places firm
limits and controls on the child and allows little verbal exchange. Children of
authoritarian parents often are anxious about social comparison, fail to initiate activity,
and have poor communication skills. Either foreclosed identity or rebellion. Parental
behaviors: Demanding. Strong control. Rejecting. Unresponsive. Parent-centered.
[Red-hot Demanders]
AUTHORITATIVE parenting encourages children to be independent but still places limits and
controls on their actions. Extensive verbal give-and-take is allowed, and parents are warm
and nurturant toward the child. Children more likely to become self-reliant and socially
responsible. Parental behaviors: Demanding. Strong control. Accepting. Responsive.
Child-centered. [Warm Demanders]
