After reading Juno Diaz story “Fiesta 1980”, I became really interested in the topic of parenting styles.Junior was raised by an Authoritarian father who was in charge of the family decisions. Being raised with this type of parenting style really affected Junior during his teenage years. However, I am curious to know if the way someone was raised can also affect later on in the future like in adulthood and if it can impact someone on the way they raise their future children. For example, if someone was raised with permissive parents would that person also raise their future children the same way they were raised. After doing some research I found out that there are four different types of parenting styles which are Authoritarian, Permissive, Uninvolved and Authoritative. Each one is different from one another and each one can have positive or negative effects on the children. So far I found out that people who are raised with Authoritative parents tend to be more successful in the future and have better leadership skills. I also found out that parenting styles can affect social,cognitive, and psychological development. Authoritarian parenting can cause depression in children or teenagers as well as low self esteem. Also, there’s really no respect in permissive parenting as it tends to be more or a son-friend relationship and not parent. Children don’t really look at their parents as a parental figure but more of a friend.
Therefore, I will be looking for information about the four different types of parenting styles and I will also be looking at how parenting styles can affect someone’s social, cognitive, and psychological development. I will then be using that information I found out, to analyze whether being raised a certain way has a relationship with the way one chooses to raise their future children. So will children that were raised with permissive parents also raise their future children with permissive parenting styles.
