Find Out Which Of The 3 Parenting Styles You Have And If Your Style Is Hindering Your Kid's Ability To Succeed in Life.

No Matter Which Of The 3 Parenting Styles You Belong To...

Guess Who's Watching Your Parenting Closely To See If You're A Good Enough Parent?

You are not the only one interested in knowing how you can increase your kids' performance in life. Someone else is interested in finding out exactly how much parents influence their children's development and competence.

Developmental psychologists have been intrigued by the same thing and have researched it extensively since the 20's.

Don't worry we won't bore you with in depth psychological studies. We'll make it easy for you... Believe it or not,

An important study was defined as Parenting Styles.

Even though parenting is comprised of a complex set of behaviours and practices, scientists were able to identify four different styles and see the consequences of their approach to raising kids.

From the 4 different Styles, 3 will be relevant to you.

Why? Because I don't believe you are a neglectful type of father or mother if you are taking the time to read this.

These styles are a direct interpretation of levels of responsiveness and demandingness in parenting. We'll discuss more of that later. Let's first look at the four styles of parenting.

Summarizing...

Permissive Parents (indulgent): Lenient, non-traditional, do not require mature behaviour, avoid confrontation. They can be either democratic, who though lenient are more conscientious.

Authoritarian Parents: Expect orders to be obeyed without questioning.They provide clear rules and well ordered environment. They can be nonauthoritarian-directive, who are directive but not autocratic in power. And authoritarian-directive, who are highly intrusive.

Authoritative parents: They monitor and impart clear standards to their children, assertive but not intrusive. Disciplinary methods are supportive, not punitive.

Uninvolved Parents: They are low in responsiveness and demandingness. In extreme cases they can be rejecting-neglecting or neglectful or parents. But in most cases of this style they fall in the normal range.

I can understand if this sounds greek to you. And I promised to give you practical solutions without too much psychology and complex concepts. Just bear with me a little longer...

At this point, you're probably saying: "Ok, how can this help me change or be a better parent?"

I must say, I don't believe in labelling others and much less labelling ourselves. I believe that we can change anything we set our hearts to.

That's why I am confident that you should know what kind of style you are falling into for the purpose of awareness and attention. Awareness is the beginning of everything. Attention is the secret of achieving anything. You are not the Style. You might be producing results from a certain style but that has the potential to only be a temporary condition.
