Parenting: its various styles and responsibilities
We can classify parenting according to its nature:
1. Authoritative parenting: This is probably one of the best types of parenting. Such parents may issue certain rules or guidelines for their children. Not only that, such parents pay attention to what their children are saying, they also set aside some time for their children and respond positively to their children's questions.
Instead of punishing their children if they fail to do what they are told, such parents will try to forgive and correct their children. They are the ones who want to push their children forward without putting them under excessive control. It can be seen that such parents try to raise their children in proper discipline so that their children become efficient and disciplined.Parents are likely to use techniques like positive discipline instead of unnecessary punishment. Studies show that kids raised in this way often do well socially and academically.Children of these parents develop social awareness, efficiency and discipline.

permissive parents give complete independence to their kids. Such parents may not have a great deal of knowledge about proper disciplinary habits.Permissive parents do not enforce rules for their kids.They ask their children for very little. They also have low expectations of their children. Often they are the ones who take things in stride. For these reasons, minor problems are found in the children of such parents. They do not provide the necessary guidance or training to their children. Such parents will be able to meet many of their children's needs before they say so. In many cases, such parents give their children too much freedom. Therefore, children become selfish.
The downside of such parenting is that it can lead children to an unsatisfactory attitude.Kids of permissive parents are more likely to do poorly in school, and there are poor social and emotional consequences as well.
3. Authoritarian Parenting: Such parents have high expectations of their children but do not give them any guidance on how to improve their abilities. They make the decision for the children and implement it. They are not parents who care about their children's preferences in any matter related to their children. They insist that their children implement their own decisions and if this does not happen, they are the parents who give their children severe punishments.
Children who grow up under the discipline of their parents will show obedience, but they will not find self-confidence, self-esteem and satisfaction in such children.

They are the ones who respond inactively to the needs of their children. They do not communicate enough with their children about anything. They do some of the basics for the children but they do not show any emotional attachment to the children. They often fail to give enough consideration to their children's lives. It is common for children of such parents to go astray as their children are given too much freedom.
