These are the Five Parenting Styles currently used in Child Psychology today based on the work of Diana Baumrind, and Stanford researchers Eleanor Maccoby and John Martin.
 
The Supporting and Nurturing parent.
The Authoritarian parent.
The Permissive parent.
The Disengaged or Uninvolved parent.
The Overinvolved or “Helicopter” parent. 

These are the five styles identified by child psychologists. Of course, we all think we’re the supporting and nurturing parent… most of the time…
If we’re honest though we know we have weaknesses or weak moments.
How do we detect these behaviours in ourselves and how can we make the adjustments we need to make? 

In this episode Kate talks with an expert in early learning and development about the parenting styles that can be the most helpful for you.
