Why is it important? “parental involvement plays an important role in the development of both social and cognitive competence”-Parke & Buriel, 2006, p.437
Baumrind’s Experiment Diana Baumrindin the early 1960’s, conducted a study on more than 100 preschool-age children in California, in order to conclude the effects of various parenting styles on childhood development. At the conclusion of the study Baurmind indicates that parents differ on four important dimensions which are: • Expressions of warmth • Disciplinary strategies • Communication • Expectations of maturity Thus, based on these four dimensions that Baumrind introduces, four styles of parenting are presented.
Authoritarian Parenting Characteristics
Permissive Parenting Characteristics
Authoritative Parenting Characteristics
Neglectful Parenting Characteristics
Conclusion • In all, parenting is different based on the culture, values, morals, beliefs, and ethnicity of the parent. There is no right or wrong way in parenting but there are suggestions as how to go around it, really it’s different for everyone and whatever works for each family goes.
