Document Summary
Parenting style: the emotional climate of the parent child relationship. Enduring sets of parenting behaviors, combinations of warmth and acceptance, and boundaries and discipline that occur across situations. Emphasize behavioral control and obedience over warmth. Emphasize self-expression and have few rules and expectations for their children. Focus on their own needs rather than those of the child. Provide little support or warmth, exert little control, and fail to recognize child"s needs. Warm and sensitive to child"s needs but also firm in expectations. Effects of parenting styles vary with cultural and contextual factors. Non-western and collectivist cultures: few negative outcomes of authoritarian parenting. Rise in parent child conflict in early adolescence. Adapting parenting strategies to children"s increased ability to reason and desire for independence. Parental monitoring: being aware of teens" whereabouts and companions. Moving out of family home as important transition. Grandparent involvement associated with child well-being and adolescent adjustment.
