When I read the three types of parenting styles, it got me thinking on what kind of parents I have. I would say that I have more of the authoritative kind of parents. They set rules that they expect me to follow, but they also let me know why they are setting these rules. Another part of this is if I behave, don't talk back, and do the things they ask me to. The rules become a little less strict, and I get to do more.
I've seen parents that are like the other two types of parents. And I am very thankful that I have the parents I have. I don't think I would be able to deal with the authoritarian kind of parents. Sometimes I don't do so well with all the rules that get set. So I might have a very big problem with that. But then I don't think I would like to have the permissive kind of parents either. Granted that might me nice because it would be easier to get what I wanted. But then I wouldn't be learning anything about for myself. And after a certain point I don't think that is a very good idea. Everyone needs to learn things for themselves sometimes, or their going to have a hard time in the real world outside of high school and living with their parents.

i agree with the what you said about learning on your own. Parents are suppose to set rules for us, and have us follow them. Its when parents are to srict or not strict enough where problems in kids arise. I think that in order to live happily in the real world, you need to learn from your mistakes in the real world.
ReplyDeleteI'm also glad that my parents are authoritative. By giving me rules and restrictions they have taught me how to lead a better life for myself. I think that with authoritative parents the children are more likely to achieve in life because of the rules the parents set down. When parents expect things from their children, the children do more to exceede their expectations.
ReplyDeleteI agree! My parents are the same way, and I believe this allows me to make my own mistakes and learn from them. I think athoritarian parents set rules because of their mistakes in the past, but kids don't always know why. I think this is a problem, because eventually the parents won't have controll over the kids anymore, and they will end up making the mistakes later in life. I think it's better to get the big mistakes out of your system when you're young.
