Introduction
Parenting requires knowledge to
succeed and make their parents proud.
It is not a matter of chance when one
sees a happy family living in harmony,
with a relaxed and peaceful home
environment. It is a product of hard
work and efforts to build positive
relationships between parents and
children. Good parenting is a lasting
investment that is essential to great
success in children's emotional,
psychological and physical growth.

1. Authoritarian
• Children are required to obey the strict
rules set by the parents
• Failure to obey certain laws is normally
punished
• If questioned, the parent can simply say,
"Because I said so."
• They expect their children to act well and
make no mistakes, but they have very
little guidance on what they can do or
avoid in the future
• Mistakes are disciplined, sometimes
harshly, but their children are often left
asking what they did wrong.
2. Authoritative
• Set rules and instructions for their
children to obey. This parenting style, on
the other hand, is much more
democratic.
• Authoritative parents are attentive to
their children's needs and eager to
answer their questions.
• These parents have high expectations for
their children, but they encourage them
with warmth and adequate support.
• When their children struggle to fulfil their
parents' standards, they are more caring
and compassionate rather than
punishing.
• Parents should keep an eye on their
children's behaviour and set reasonable
expectations for them.
3. Permissive
• Permissive parents, also known as
indulgent parents, put few demands on
their children.
• Since they have low standards of maturity
and self-control, these parents rarely
discipline their children.
• They are nontraditional and lenient, do
not require mature behaviour, allow for
significant self-regulation, and avoid
conflict.
• Permissive parents are usually caring and
communicative with their children, often
adopting the role of a friend rather than a
parent.
4. Uninvolved
• Psychologists Eleanor Maccoby and John
Martin suggested a fourth: uninvolved or
neglectful parenting.
• Uninvolved parenting is described by few
demands, low responsiveness, and little
communication.
• While these parents meet their child's
basic needs, they are largely absent from
their child's life.
• They may provide food and shelter for
their children, but they provide little or
no guidance, structure, laws, or even
support.
• In extreme cases, these parents may even
reject or neglect the needs of their
children.

According to Morin (2020), Strategies that will help you
become a more authoritative parent:
1. Listen to Your Child
Authoritative parents welcome
their children’s opinions. They
listen to their concerns and allow
them to share their ideas. So
whether your child is telling you
the same joke for the tenth time
or sharing a long-winded story,
be a good listener. Giving your
child positive attention goes a
long way toward preventing
behavior problems.
2.Consider Your Child’s
Feelings
Show your child that you are in
charge, but make it known that
you care about how your
decisions affect everyone in the
family. So if you’re planning to
move across the country, ask
your children how they feel
about the move—but don’t ask
them if it’s OK if you move.
3.Establish Clear Rules
Authoritative parents have clear
household rules.. They make sure
kids know their expectations
ahead of time and they explain
the reasons behind their rules.
So rather than saying, “Go to
sleep because I said so,” say, “Go
to sleep so you can help your
body and your brain grow.”
 4.Use Consequences That
Teach Life Lessons
Authoritative parents don’t make
kids suffer for their mistakes.
They avoid shaming children and
they don’t use corporal
punishment. They also don’t use
guilt trips or say things like, “I’m
so disappointed in you.” They
help a child see that they made a
bad choice, but they are not a
bad person.
5. Offer Incentives
Authoritative parents use
rewards to motivate children.
That doesn’t mean they shower
kids with lavish gifts, however.
Instead, when a child is struggling
with a specific behavior problem,
they use incentives to help a child
get back on track.
Con c l u s i o n

• Our child is a success if they grow up to be healthy,

happy, and able to be independent. Although most of
us agree that is what we want for our children, it is
not all we expect from them. Consider your own life
for a moment. How do you assess your own success?
Is it by the things you own, the work you do, or the
way you live your life? Is it your children or your
relationships?
• To raise a successful child, we must first realise that
success is more than just being the richest child on
the street. It is about bringing to life the dreams and
hopes that each of our children carries within their
hearts. If we do this, our children will be successful.
