Parenting Styles

The way parents discipline their children plays a key in their development! This time, #StayOkayHK shares 4 types of parenting styles to help parents better understand which style they belong to.
Authoritative Parenting:
Characterized by setting clear expectations and guidelines based on each child’s characteristics and actively building close relationships through communication, such as encouraging children to participate in the decision-making and respect their opinions.
Helps shape positive attitudes in children when facing challenges.
Develop a sense of responsibility and independence.
Authoritarian parenting:
Characterized by strict rules and punishments, emphasizing discipline and obedience, but lacking emotional support and encouragement.
Lack of confidence and fear of making mistakes.
Poor mental health and social and emotional development.
Permissive Parenting:
Parents are more lenient and give their children greater autonomy, often failing to promptly guide or restrict inappropriate behavior.
Excessive permissiveness may lead to a lack of discipline, resulting in selfish and self-centered behaviors.
Lack of independence and problem-solving abilities.
Neglectful Parenting:
Little interaction between parents and children. Cold relationship with minimal emotional support.
Feel loneliness and insecure, and also struggling to establish stable emotional connections
Every child is unique. # StayOkayHK hopes that parents can nurture their children into confident, independent, and loving individuals through good parenting.
