Parenting Styles and the Impacts on Children (Part 3)

There is no perfect parenting style, that’s what many people said. What do you think about such opinion? If you still try to look for the very best style, keep in mind that everything has its downsides. Now, let’s talk about the number 3 type called permissive parenting. What is it like and what is the difference if compared with style number one and two?

From the name, you can already guess that it offers more chance for children to as why it is allowed, what that’s not, why something should be like this and like that, as well as the possibility to do what they want to do. In short, kids will be kids.

In our daily life, we can see that permissive parents tend to allow or play the role as friend for their kids. When children feel comfortable to be around their parents, they will feel comfortable to talk and share their problems. Sure, open communication between parents and children is truly important.

However, permissive parenting should be applied or practiced appropriately too. It is recommended to avoid some unwanted possibility, including disrespectful behavior. So, becoming too permissive is not a good idea, since children may exhibit some bad attitude, including the incapability to appreciate authority and rules.
