What are ‘parenting styles’?
How we parent greatly shapes the experiences our child(ren) have. Your ‘parenting style’ includes how you communicate, show warmth, enforce boundaries, and overall nurture your child. The Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire (PSDQ) was developed by Prof Clyde Robinson and colleagues and was designed to measure three styles — Authoritative, Permissive, and Authoritarian.
There are different outcomes associated with each parenting style, and it is possible to apply a blend of multiple styles to how you raise your child. Becoming more aware of your parenting style can help you overcome patterns that you might unconsciously find yourself in when disciplining your child(ren). It might shed light on a tendency to overly enforce rules and structure, or at the other end avoid any form of restriction on freedom.
By being aware of your preferred style and naming the patterns in how you parent, you can make more intentional choices when it comes to how you parent your child(ren).
Why Learn About Parenting Styles?
How we parent our child(ren) greatly shapes the people they become: It affects how you:
- Set boundaries and rules.
- Allow for independence.
- Offer warmth, connection, and comfort.
- Support your child(ren)’s overall growth, development, and autonomy.
