My Experience As An Authoritative Parent

Decent Essays
I went to nail shop and a woman in a child came inside. The woman and the child were of Hispanic ethnicity the mother looked as though she was in her late thirties or early forty’s.

I observed her interactions with the little girl. The first thing I noticed was how affectionate she was towards her daughter. The woman quietly played with her daughter while waiting for her turn to be serviced. The mother also made sure her daughter did not disturb anyone or anything during the wait. I would have to say that the woman was an Authoritative Parent, because she tended

    The first theory that has influenced my parenting style is Erickson’s theory of psychosocial development. This theory emphasizes the major psychosocial challenges that are important at a specific time in life. For example, I have learned that a baby must develop a sense of security with in the first 18-months of life, and then develop a balance of independence by the time he reaches 3 years old.

    I chose the role of the parent being an Uninvolved/Authoritative parent because not only is it a complex role but a lot of children that’s in neglectful/ abusive homes possess this type of parent. The mom in this scenario was involved & really didn’t care about the child’s well-being, however she wanted the daughter to do as she say’s & not a she does. Although the scenario focuses more on helping the child I wanted to display that even if the parents have too many issues to deal with the child’s best interest should be taken into consideration. The outcome for the character that plays the mom is to get her far away from the child until she gets the proper help that she needs.…

Reading the descriptions of authoritarian child-rearing style of upbringing, given on page 393, I find confirmation that most of the actions of my virtual parenting style can be classified as Authoritative. “Authoritative parents are warm, attentive, and sensitive to their child’s needs”. p.393 I agree with this statement, because at the time of making any decision I have always tried to investigate each of the answers offered by the program, and to suggest options for how my choice will affect the already existing needs of my virtual children.…

    With an autocratic parenting style it is obvious that there is a parent and a child or one can look at it as an inferior and superior relationship. This has been found not to be as effective because there is no responsibility in these types of children.

Permissive parenting is just as ineffective as autocratic parenting because of the children doing what they want when they want. There is no level of control and these children are also more inclined to experimenting with drugs, sex and alcohol.…
