Authoritative Parenting Style

Many people think that this style is the most beneficial to children. Authoritative parents are nurturing and reasonable and even if they set high expectations for their child, they offer flexibility. When it comes to discipline, the rules are stated clearly and explained to the child. Communication is very open between parties and in a way that the young one will understand. Many children raised by authoritative parents think for themselves and are self-disciplined.

Authoritative Parents also set rules which they expect their children to follow, but the rules are explained. Parents are more forgiving rather than punishing and children are allowed to make their own choices. Parents are also open to discussion with their children. These parents often take advantage of teaching moments and open, honest communication with their children.

In 1992 psychologist and author E.E. Maccoby concluded that authoritative parenting styles tended to result in children who were happy, capable and successful. Combining parenting styles in a way which falls somewhere in the authoritative parenting zone makes for the most well-adjusted, happy, and successful children.
