Learn More About Parenting Styles
One of the fascinating aspects of being a parent is the wide range of approaches we use to raise our children. At the same time, there are a lot of similarities between parents. In fact, there is enough commonality among parents that academics have attempted to categorize them into four distinct parenting styles.
The combination of upbringing practises you employ to raise your children is referred to as your parenting style.
There are four types of parenting styles:
a. Authoritarian
b. Authoritative
c. Permissive
d. Uninvolved
Your upbringing style has an impact on everything from your child’s weight to their self-esteem. As the way you interact with your child and how you discipline them has an impact on your child for the rest of their life, it’s critical to make sure your upbringing style supports healthy growth and development.
