Research on parenting + other stuff
10 years ago
It's not easy trying to explain stuff at my pace, but I'm not going to give up doing so.
Recently I have been surfing around the web about parenting even though I myself is a teenager entering adulthood. I did this out of curiousity and some truth.
Personally I think parenting is the most important thing in life. The reason why is because what you do to your children will make them how they will be as adults [< correct me if wrong]
Before I sum up the 4 types of parenting, here are the links I found about it regarding this topic, recently

The four types of parenting I had found are
Authoritative
Authoritarian
Permissive
Uninvolved
Authoritative and authoritarian are the ones I know mostly
Authoritarian parents are parents who are strict. They set up rules and expect you to follow them, sometimes without any reasons whatsoever. They are also nonnegotiable as they expect you to just follow their rules. They also have this beleif that they are the head of the house, have power and authority and that they know more than the child and it is their job to teach them to do exactly what their parents expect them to do.
Although the child may follow rules he or she might experience low self esteem and be socially incompetent(lacking social skills)
They do not offer much discipline and take on the role of a friend and they don't do much when there is a serious problem. They are more lenient
Child will be academicly incompetent, get into trouble with authority figures, and experience depression
This is due to lacking any knowledge of parenting, mental illness or substance abuse(s). They might have some rules but not nurture their children.
Children will also struggle with low self esteem, perform poorly in academics and develop behaviour porblems.
All of these three have many flaws that are not acknowledged by the parent(s) but there is one parenting style that is effective
Like authoritarian, they set up rules in their houses
however
They are supportive, affectionate, creative, and let their children have their opinions and their voices.They are also consider their childrens' feelings.
The child is successful, happy and knows how to make smart choices in life as well as safety. In addition, he has social skills.
I hope that I have shed some light in making this journal. I did the best in explaining these parenting styles

I have one authoritarian parent and one authoritative. ;w;
As I have said, I really think it is important.
Parents really need to recognize their flaws they have been practicing
And yeah, me too. ;w;
My Dad is the Authoritarian in my house. He's like 52 and a super religious Christian, and I can hardly talk to him because he won't listen to me or let me say anything. X0
I tried reading some books about social interaction and making better conversation and kind of passing stuff along to him, but he just got really mad and refused to absorb any of it. And it was all stuff that would've led to less yelling and arguing for both of us.
1.) We find out the problem
2.) We attack the problem not the person
3.) We listen to each other
4.) We care about each other's feelings
5.) We are responsible for what we say and do
And it had the fouls are... (all of these in a circles with a diagonal cross)
Blaming
Getting Even
Hitting
Making Excuses
Name Calling
Bossing
Not Listening
Teasing
Put-downs
Threats
Either way, psychology is my field. >w<
