1. Parenting styles

-Dictatorial or authoritarian:

-Parents try to control the child’s behaviors and attitudes through

unquestioned rules and expectations

-Ex: The child is never allowed to watch television on school nights

-Permissive:

-Parents exert little or no control over the child’s behaviors, and consult the

child when making decisions

-Ex: The child assists with deciding whether he will watch television

-Democratic or authoritative:

-Parents direct the child’s behavior by setting rules and explaining the reason

for each rule setting

-Ex: The child can watch television for 1 hr on school nights after

completing all of his homework and chores

-Parents negatively reinforce deviations form the rules

-Ex: The privilege is taken away but later reinstated based on new

guidelines
