It has been said that parents do not come with a leaflet. When you become a parent, you enter unknown territory. As you can see their parents about the proper care and behavior of these little ones, it is also true that each child is unique. Another factor that leads to mention is that if their parents were excessively rigid type, you can tend to a more permissive parenting style. The converse is also true. All parents want to be ' perfect ' father, but of course this is almost impossible! You should also take into account style and temperament of the child.
There are three basic styles of parenting. One is the authoritarian, strict father, which tends to be overly controlling and is not open to discussion on the issues. This type of parenting style emphasizes obedience and not brooks no dissent.
The authoritarian parenting style is more moderate. This means limits are set, but the discussion is encouraged. Children usually respond better to this strategy, as they learn that self control while still having a say on why a decision is best, or preferred, on the other.
The latter is the permissive parent, most often the product of an authoritarian education. Reacting to the very strict parents, they swing an opposite style, often spoiling their children, enabling them to make their own rules, exerting very little authority. This parenting style typically results in children who do not have self-control, because they never learn to set boundaries.
So what parenting style results in most children well adjusted, socially responsible? Can be found in most cases the father moderated, official, to be better. A large study, conducted over a period of years found an interesting correlation between parenting styles and weight of children. Children of authoritarian and permissive parents tended to be overweight at a rate much higher than those of authoritarian style, moderated!
However, there is more to this parenting style than meets the eye. Children have different temperaments, and this is a quite essential consideration. Let's say you have two sons, one whose personality is kind of shy, quiet and another that is more outgoing and aggressive. It is easy to see that each child should be addressed in different ways.
The shy child is naturally more passive in response to a directive, and can be very sensitive. While still being firm, you may need to help the child develop trust and self-expression. For example, this child asks to go out and ride your bike. It is raining. You could say, "Oh, sweetie, I know you like to ride your bike, but he has very wet out there right now. This is an easy way to catch a cold. What would you say to a game of cards until it clears up? " Along with the "not" this is a reason, a request for its opinion and an alternative.
The son of output which makes the same request, you can represent it as a statement. "Mom, I'm going to go with my bike." Your answer should be a little different. "Sorry, buddy, it's raining. I don't want you catching cold. See if you can think of another activity until it clears up "? There is a subtle difference, in that you are a little firmer and needs no euphemisms. The child more aggressive can handle plain language better than a timid child and probably already have confidence to burn.
When developing your unique parental style, try to model it after the authoritarian style, tempered by your child's personality. Chances are that the child goes out nicely!
