Four Types of Parenting Styles Impact on Child

June 27, 2020 by Momsy 4 Comments

When observing children in a playground, you will notice that there are different behaviors that each child shows. You can see friendly children, naughty children, silent children, and aggressive children. There are also children whose behavior you cannot understand. Maybe you also have a hard time understanding your child’s behavior.

In the 1960s, Diana Baumrind, a developmental psychologist at the University of California at Berkeley observed preschoolers who have different behaviors. She came up with a theory that explains the behavior of each child in correlation to how their parents treat them.

The Permissive parents are the ones who:

4. Neglectful 

The Neglectful kind of parenting style is also known as an uninvolved parent.

The Neglectful parents are the ones who: 

  • Do not ask their children about their school or homework
  • Do not listen when the child is sharing something
  • Spend more time in watching TV or using their phone instead of playing with their child
  • Do not know where or whom their child is with

The parents who are of Neglectful parenting style produces children who: 

  • struggle with self-esteem.
  • most likely grow up depressed and suicidal.
