I will be comparing two of Baumrind's paretning styles;
Permissive and Authoritative.
The
Permissive Style of parenting focuses on autonomy and freedom to express as well as downplay conformity. In this style there are few regulations and rules. A problem with this style is control is often lacking in situations with conflict. This picture below shows a parent who seems to have lost control over her child.
The
Authoritative Style of parenting also encourages autonomy and tends to avoid punishment similarly to the permissive Style. This style focuses on positive reinforcement and while punishment is lacking, the difference between these two styles of parenting is in the latter style, parents have control over their children unlike in the first style mentioned. The picture below shows a similar situation as the picture above, except in this photo the mother has control over the situation.
Parenting Styles
ReplyDeleteBaumrinds parenting style includes three styles authoritarian, permissive, and authoritative. Authoritarian style parents are obedience and status-oriented expecting their orders to be obeyed without explanation. These parents use punishment and fail to give reasons. Permissive style has the parents more as a friend than a parent who rarely disciplines and over indulges their children. They are nontraditional and lenient, do not require mature behavior, allow considerable self-regulation, and avoid confrontation. Finally authoritative which offers a balance of the previous styles. These parents are assertive, establishing rules and guidelines that their children are expected to follow. When children fail to meet the expectations, the parents are more nurturing and forgiving. Kohn's parenting style consists of two styles, conformity and self direction. The comfort is under supervision he follows a more set routine. Self direction on the other hand is less stressing the child’s motives and development of their creativity.Lareau's parenting style has two styles, concerted cultivation and accomplishment of natural growth. Concerted cultivation allows children to grow their interest and abilities. Accomplishment of natural growth the parents provide things such as food and shelter while the children development is created through time.
When I compare these types, it appears that Kohn's style links with Baumrind's style because they both focus on control and how they affect the children. Laurea's theory is not similar then the other two because it focuses more on behavior than con troll and rule and techniques that help the children. The parenting style I enjoy the most would be Baumrinds parenting style because it seems the parenting I grew with. I believe that most parents can identify themselves with one of the Baumrind’s parenting styles it is easy and fair.
