Generally  parenting styles fall into four broad categories. Though various researchers prefer to use different names, the styles usually are said to be: 

Authoritarian, More Authoritative, Permissive, and Uninvolved

Authoritarian parents are very strict and controlling. Some parents are kind, but not firm. Others are firm, but not kind. Many parents vacillate between the two—being too kind until they can’t stand their kids (who develop an entitlement attitude) and then being too firm until they can’t stand themselves (feeling like tyrants).

As a parent, you influence your child’s basic values- like religious values, and issues related to their future like educational choices. And the stronger your relationship with your child, the more influence you will have, because your child will be more likely to seek your guidance and value your opinion and support.

In general  some of us have experienced and we have witnessed different parenting styles ourselves. Bad parenting makes a child more prone to criminal behaviour. Other common effects of bad parenting include failure to thrive and poor growth and development both physically and mentally. It can also lead to poor performance in school because his or her needs are not met at home. Whereas in the case of Good parenting, it involves a great deal of consistency and routine, which gives children a sense of control. 

Good parenting focuses on developing independence in children, so necessity and redundancy is a path few parents take. This doesn’t mean that parenting becomes ‘Permissive’ and ‘Uninvolved’ because it involves a style that considers children’s age and stage of development. 

Being more specific in classifying the different types of parenting- we could again see these typical parents in the society and communities all from the past till now from the rich to  poor homes.  

Parental tips:

• Allow your home to be a refuge where mercy and grace is displayed. Reinforcing the greatest goal to glorify God in all we do.
• Train your children to have an end goal in mind and they will grow up to be godly. Have a dedicated time each day. 
• We even have the privilege to pray for unborn babies. Know our children’s natural talents and strengths.
