Parenting Style: Reflection Paper


Parenting is the most important part of discipline among the children. Parents are the
first people who will teach a child. If a child is properly raised, they will have good character and
will fit society properly. If a child is not raised correctly, they may have a hard time blending in
the society. They may also have trouble expressing themselves socially ang emotionally. There
are four different parenting styles: Authoritarian, Permissive, Uninvolved and Authoritative.
The Authoritarian parent is overly strict. They may set rules for no specific reason.
Usually, disobedience means punishment. These parents usually see kids as someone who
doesn’t have the authority to speak up and defend themselves. I’ve seen these kinds of parent.
It usually doesn’t turn out well. A child experienced such parents may become violent or
unsociable. Since a child copies what his/her parent does. They might do it to others who are
smaller than them. Authoritarian style for me isn’t good. Too much set of rules for a child who
is ready to discover the world will have a hard time. Their imagination and dreams will be
limited. Then, one day when they realize how hard it is, they will do everything to get away
from their parents.
The Permissive parent give too much freedom. They want their kids to get up and see
the world as it is. They want their kids to explore and be curious. They may set some rules but
they don’t really enforce them that much. Punishment isn’t really necessary in this parenting
style. Freedom is good for a child. They explore the world and learn to be creative. But then,
too much freedom can also hurt them. Without consequences, they might think that the world
revolves around them. They may think that they can have everything the world has to offer.
Child who also experienced this kind of parenting may also become gullible. They may trust
anyone and it may be dangerous for them. This also is a parenting style I don’t approve of.
Everything that is too much is dangerous. A child growing up with this parenting style may have
a hard time making their own decisions and they may become careless.
The Uninvolved parent may be the worst of the parenting style. This parenting style
doesn’t just give too much freedom, the parent actually doesn’t care for their child. They don’t
spend time with their child, they don’t guide their child, and to be honest, they are no where
being a parent to their child. IT’s either they don’t care or they don’t even have an idea what a
parent does at all. With this, a child will look upon their parents and yearn for care and love.
They will have self-esteem issues and may also feel emotional distress. No one, and I mean NO
ONE should ever experience this. It will make everything so difficult for a child.
Now lastly, we have the Authoritative style of parenting. This parenting is the perfect
balance of the Authoritarian and Permissive parenting. They have rules that are considerate but
they also give enough freedom for a child to explore. They take the feelings of a child into
consideration and they maintain the positive relationship with their child. My parents raised me
a little bit like this. My mom was a little bit Authoritarian and my dad is a little bit Permissive.
With their combined parenting, it was in a good balance. Although, because of their broken
relationship, by the end of the day, my mom became Permissive to the point it was almost
Uninvolved. The Authoritative parenting gives positive reinforcement and punishment. It
teaches the child that good things are given rewards and bad things are given punishment. If all
parents are balance in their parenting style, I think a lot of children wouldn’t have problems
socially and emotionally.
