Parenting Styles

-

 

Everyone is grown up in different environment. Parenting has different styles. Parenting in my perspective is how parents bring up their child through the help of certain beliefs, customs, values and tradition. The child will likely to have qualities such as their behavior, attitude that is due to the parenting style.

 

The different types of parenting

 




Authoritative Parenting

Authoritative parenting is also known as Ideal style of parenting. Parents impose rigid rules. And explain why is it so.  However, they also hear from the children and how they feel.

Parents of this type are caring, as well as strict. They help their children to make good decisions.

This eventually creates the children to feel safe and cared.

They grow up to become assertive and happy.

Example Situation:  A child willingly to go out with friends at night, the parents don’t allow or give permission not that they didn’t want their child to enjoy the nightlife but rather for the safety concern they mostly deny.

Authoritarian Parenting

This type of parenting is danger for the future of the child. The parents are strict and they expect their children to follow whatever is said and mostly commendable.

The parents impose discipline while forgetting to hear the side of the child and how they feel. The parents mostly don’t reveal as in why they are supposed or asked to follow the rules. Voices of their ward is often unheard.

This leads to parental domination at various levels of the child’s life and it makes the individual kid to be withdrawn and fearful. They tend to possess a low-self-esteem.  

 

Example situation: The child who is willing to choose commerce stream is made to opt for Biology, because they (parents) have already dreamed of their child to become doctor. The desire of the child is unbothered.

 

Permissive Parenting

 Permissive parents don’t act as a backbone in the lives of their child. They are withdrawn and not establish any rules on the kid. These parents wanted their child to be happy at any cost.

They tend to build a friendly environment but the involvement of parents is least.

The children may find it hard to become self-driven and motivated.

 

Example situation: The over favored children are not likely to follow the law and order. The children coming late to the school or college. Procrastinating their homework’s or assignment are few such examples of permissive parenting. And the parents don’t say no from buying toys to their kid to the electronic gadgets or gaming to their teen without understanding the harmful effects.

 

Uninvolved parenting

As the name says, the parents doesn’t get involved in the upbringing of their child. They are too busy with works, and do not have proper plan of making a child’s future.

The children are made to come up in everything by themselves. Their choices are made which is not scrutinized by parents.

The children may feel lonely.  Uninvolved parents could make their children’s life dark. They don’t know if the peer is positive or negative, they don’t keep in check of child’s academic progress and doesn’t know what the child longs for.

Example situation: The working parents who comes home late and spend no time with their children. They don’t show up on the important days of the child it could be Parents, teachers meeting or birthday.

Train and the Tranquil lessons

-
  Have you ever thought your life is so tough and hard? Every morning of my day begins with the birds chirping and continues with the whizzling of the train sound. Getting freshen up and chasing the train is as equal to that of pursuing one’s goals in life.   My dad drops me at the station and I find the life is becoming so simple as I get to the station before the train arrives but there are days, I need to walk by myself for at least 2 kilometers in order to reach the railway station. I Don’t get exhausted by the long walks but rather feel unfortunate exactly to have witness the train already leaving from the station and I do hear the sound of the train about to leave while I walk through the streets. The platform number of the respective destinations will be announced some minutes back. The passengers moved To and Fro from platform number 2 and platform number 3 after mislead by the announcement for three times wrongly. I saw the group of working men yelling in the ticket c...

Being Slim a Sin?

-
  Body shaming has, unfortunately, become all too common in the 21st century. It takes real courage to help someone feel good about themselves, and only a few people actually do it. Regardless of age, we can all feel numb at times. There are days when I question if I’m physically fit enough. People have body shamed me, asking, “Are you even intaking oxygen for your survival?” or saying, “You look like you could fly away with the breeze.” If my good nature, intentions, character, and generosity go unnoticed, what else could possibly matter?   Sometimes, I wish I had the same audacity as those who make mean comments about someone’s body—just so I could reply that I am stronger in all the ways that truly count. In any relationship, is it ever acceptable to make such comments in front of others? I remember how excited I once was to make friends in college, only to regret it because one gym-obsessed guy grabbed my hand and said, “Look how lean and thin you are, do eat.” I alway...

What If I Were a Celebrity?

-
  As a child, I always dreamt of becoming a teacher. I remember draping a shawl like a saree and pretending to teach in an empty hall, my voice echoing back as if an invisible classroom were listening. As I grew older, I was surrounded by images of celebrities, paparazzi flashes, airport looks, red carpets, and curated smiles. But somewhere along the way, a question began to trouble me:  who are the real actors and actresses of our society?  Are they the ones who perform well on screen and earn fame, or the ones who silently transform generations? Today, I see some of my friends as teachers, and they are nothing short of queens. They don’t run behind changing their own lives, but work tirelessly to bring change in the lives of students. Even when the pay is modest, their joy is immense. Their classrooms may be small, but their impact is vast. The pride I feel when I think of my seniors teaching in Arunachal Pradesh is indescribable. They endure extreme weather, cros...
