Every grandmother and grandfather will tell you hilarious
stories of their children when they were first born. And for
every funny and touching story they have, they will be able to
tell you another for every hardship they encountered. Parenting
is something that is done in many different ways by each parent.
The following are four general styles employed by parents.
Authority: Authoritarian parents rule on just that:

democratic and allow for feedback from there children on issues.

of an argument and usually make a
compromise. Indulgent parents usually avoid confrontation with
their children by all means, but do tend to be more involved and
emotionally closer to their children.
Authoritative: Authoritative parents are a combination of the
two styles previously mentioned. They are the happy medium.
While expecting proper behavior from their children, they
welcome feedback and questioning on certain

to demand things of their children but are also able to respond
to what they're child says, questions and requests. These
children tend to be the happiest, most confident and self
assured of all the mentioned parenting styles. It is very

Passive: Passive parenting is being completely uninvolved. These
parents may never be home due to immaturity, work or
