Parenting

Parenting simply implies the relationship between children and their parents in terms of the manner the children are raised. In my own view, parenting is a very important aspect of life from birth to adulthood. It is important as it determines the behavior and general conduct of a child. It is also a sole determinant of discipline in children as they grow up. The discussion opened on the folowing issue is available on https://primedissertations.com/buy-grant-proposal/ Diana Baumrind’s work examines and three major parenting styles (permissive, authoritative and authoritarian). Yes, it is indeed true that each and every parenting style has proven to have effects on children as they grow up. Reflecting on my own parenting history, what Diana Baumrind proposes really makes much sense. For instance, having been brought up by authoritative parenting style, I believe that people need to have freedom of expression and reactions over the laid out systems of discipline, rules and regulations so that everyone acts in the way that each and every member of the society will not be negatively affected. As much as there are strict rules and regulations, reasoning behind the rules and the discipline implementation methods set is highly encouraged and that is what I have come to realize as the true democracy. Looking at the long-term effects of parenting styles through experience, I completely agree with Diana Baumrind that authoritative parenting style models children to grow up as self-confident individuals with well-elaborate positive social values and skills. Considering my experience with individuals brought up by other parenting styles, I can confirm Diana Baumrind’s conclusion on her findings as follows: individuals brought up by permissible parenting style indeed end up engaged in behaviors like drug abuse and alcoholism due to the lack of social values as a result of uncontrolled freedom. On the other hand, individuals brought up by authoritarian parenting style develop much fear for penalties thus unlikely to engage in antisocial habits like alcoholism or drug abuse.
