Parenting Tips: Authoritative Parenting


Parenting-tips



Authoritative parenting is a parenting style characterized by high responsiveness & high demands. Authoritative parents are responsive to the child’s emotional needs while having high standards. They set limits and are very consistent in enforcing boundaries.

It is seen that preschoolers raised by authoritative parents​:

  • Tend to be happy and content.
  • Are independent and self-reliant.
  • Develop good social skills.
  • Have good emotional regulation and self-control​​
  • Express warmth and cooperate with peers​​.
  • Explore a new environment without fear.
  • Are competent and assertive.
Authoritative parents are likely to have children who
  • Achieve higher academic success​.
  • Engage more in school activities.
  • Develop good self-esteem​.
  • Have better mental health — less depression, anxiety, suicide attempts, delinquency, alcohol, and drug use.
  • Interact with peers using competent social skills​​.
  • Exhibit less violent tendencies.
  • Are well-adjusted

Authoritative parents are:
  • warm, attuned and nurturing.
  • Listen to the children.
  • Allow autonomy and encourage independence.
  • Reason with children instead of demanding blind obedience.
  • Set clear limits on behavior.
  • Consistently enforce boundaries.
  • Use positive discipline instead of punitive, forceful measures.
  • Earn, not demand, children’s respect.

If you are interested in becoming a more authoritative parent, there are some things you can do that may help. It can be helpful to view this parenting style as a balance between discipline, emotional control, and allowing independence. Try not to be too harsh nor too lenient; you can start by letting your child make more decisions, but also have regular discussions about those choices. With time, attention, and flexibility to your child's needs, this parenting method will become more natural.
