4 Main Parenting Styles

  • Authoritarian

    • You believe kids should be seen and not heard.

    When it comes to rules, you believe it's "my way or the highway."
    You don't take your child's feelings into consideration.

    • Authoritative

      • You put a lot of effort into creating and maintaining a positive relationship with your child.

      You explain the reasons behind your rules.
      You set limits, enforce rules, and give consequences, but take your child's feelings into consideration.

      • Permissive

        • You set rules but rarely enforce them.

        You don't give out consequences very often.
        You think your child will learn best with little interference from you.

        • Uninvolved

          • You don't ask your child about school or homework.

          You rarely know where your child is or who they are with.
