Parenting Styles and the Impacts on Children (Part 2)

In part 1, we have already explained about the basic things related parenting styles and write short information about authoritarian parenting style. Now, the second part of this topic will be about the next style all parents need to know.

It is called authoritative parenting. The name sounds similar to the first style, and in fact it is. The major difference between authoritarian and authoritative is in the point of exceptions. This kind of parenting style gives room for children to know the reasons why they are allowed and not allowed to do one and other things.

On setting the limits, authoritative parenting style pays attention to child’s feelings.  Further, it emphasizes on positive consequences instead of punishments. The purpose is nothing but reinforcing good behaviors. Many children raised with such parenting style tend to be happier and more successful than the ones raised with authoritarian style.

What’s more, authoritative parenting is really helpful for children on developing their ability in decision making. Since they have got enough room to express, ask as well as solving problems and challenges through their involvement in family when dealing with various conditions.

This style of parenting will be helpful for parents who want to raise kids into responsible adults who are always able to express their opinions and emotion appropriately.
