Baumrind’s four parenting styles and cultural variations (chap 7)

Authoritative parents:

best child rearing style, where parents provide ample love and family rules. They belive in unconditional love and firm rules, but understand that rules dont take precedence over human needs

Authoritarian parents:

this child caring style can appear as uncaring and cold. While they may have deep love for their childern, their inflexible “do what I say” mindset can off set this.

Permissive Parents:

main mantra of “provide total freedom and unconditional love”. No set bedtimes, chores, or homework demands; the child-rearing principal here is that children’s wishes rules

Rejecting-neglecting parents:

parents who are both low on structure and love. Children are neglected, ignored, and emotionally abandoned; they are left to raise themselves

Parents become authoritative when

they are comfratable with their ethnice identity and in caring, trustworthy communities  

Parenting styles can vary child-to-child
