strategies
Authoritarian Style
❏ children are expected to follow the strict rules
established by the parents. Failure to follow
such rules usually results in punishment
❏ Authoritarian parents fail to explain the
reasoning behind these rules
❏ parenting is a restrictive, punitive style in which
parents pressurise the child to follow their
directions and to respect their work and effort.
❏ Children with this type of parenting may have
less social competence as the parent generally
tells the child what to do instead of allowing the
child to choose by him or herself.
Authoritative
❖ Set rules but much more democratic
❖ responsive to their children and willing to listen
to questions.
❖ more nurturing and forgiving rather than
punishing
❖ They want their children to be assertive as well
as socially responsible, and self-regulated as
well as cooperative
❖ characterised by a child-centered approach that
holds high expectations of maturity
❖ encourages children to be independent but still
places limits and controls on their actions
