Parenting StylesSome of life's most important milestones are graduating from college and getting your first job. However, no matter how challenging these activities are, many people believe that the most difficult job in life is being a parent and raising children. Even though raising children is difficult, many also believe it is the most wonderful thing in their lives. Raising children also leads us to ask ourselves: "Am I raising them correctly?" “Should it be this stressful?” “Should I raise my child like my parents raised me?” “Should I ignore the parenting advice I receive?” Diana Baumrind, a clinical and developmental psychologist, has studied parenting styles. His research can help answer many of these questions and define authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and uninvolved parenting, as well as the pros and cons of each style. Diana Baumrind (1971) classified authoritarian parenting of children as low in acceptance and involvement, high in coercive control, and low in granting autonomy (Berk 279).

Parents will usually appear irritable and angry and will not express much warmth or affection (Cherry). There is little open communication between parent and child. Their way of communicating with their children is usually by shouting and little or. They are more likely to be anxious, unhappy, and have low self-esteem and self-confidence (Berk 279).

Boys especially show high rates of anger and defiance (Berk 279). Although girls also engage in acting out behaviors, they are more likely to be dependent, lacking interest in exploration, and overwhelmed by challenging tasks (Berk
