g х : Table of Contents Chapter 9. Adult Lifestyles Parenting Styles Parenting requires interpersonal skills and makes emotional demands, yet there is lit- tle in the way of formal education for this task. Most parents learn parenting practices from their own parents; some they accept, some they discard. Husbands and wives may bring different views of parenting to the marriage. Unfortunately, when parent- ing methods are passed on from one generation to the next, both desirable and unde- sirable practices are perpetuated (Eliot & Thrash, 2004; Leifer & others, 2004). Experts in development have long tried to identify desirable parenting practices. The work of Diana Baumrind (1971) has been especially influential. She believes par- ents should be neither punitive nor aloof. Rather, they should develop rules for their children and be affectionate with them. She identified four types of parenting styles: IMAGES OF ADJUSTMENT: Liddy's Adjustment to... 260 261 The Diversity of Adult Lifestyles > 272 The Family Life Cycle > 277 Parenting 286 Reach Your Learning Goals authoritarian parenting A restrictive, punitive parenting style in which the parent exhorts the child to follow their directions and respect their effort. Firm limits and controls are placed on the child, and little verbal exchange is allowed. This style is associated with children's socially incompetent behavior. • Authoritarian parenting is a restrictive, punitive style in which parents exhort the child to follow their directions and respect their effort. The authoritarian parent places firm limits on the child and allows little verbal exchange. For example, an authoritarian parent might say, "You do it my way or else." Authoritarian parents also might spank the child frequently, enforce rules rigidly but not explain them, and show rage. Children of authoritarian parents are often unhappy, fearful, and anxious about comparing themselves with others; they fail to initiate activity; and they have weak communication skills. Authoritative parenting encourages children to be independent but still places limits on their actions. Extensive verbal give-and-take is allowed, and parents are warm and nurturant toward the child. An authoritative parent might put his arm around the child in a comforting way and say, "You know you should not have done that. Let's talk about how you can handle the situation better next time." Authoritative parents support children's constructive behavior. They also expect mature, independent, and age-appropriate behavior of children. Children whose parents are authoritative are often cheerful, self- controlled, self-reliant, and achievement-oriented; they maintain friendly relations with peers, cooperate with adults, and cope well with stress. • Neglectful parenting is a style in which the parent is very uninvolved in the child's life. Children whose parents are neglectful develop the sense that other aspects of the parents' lives are more important than they are. These children tend to be socially incompetent. Many have poor self-control and don't handle independence well. They frequently have low self-esteem, are immature, and may be alienated from the family In adolescence they may skin school and authoritative parenting A parenting style that encourages children to be independent but still places limits and controls on their actions.
