Different Styles of Parenting - Which One is Best?
Author: Ron Hel-Or
There are different styles of parenting, and each of them has it's own style and characteristics. Basically, there are four styles of parenting: authoritarian, authoritative (sometimes called egalitarian), permissive, and uninvolved.
The uninvolved parenting style is when the parents are simply not there to be parents to their children. So this type of parenting can be described as "non existent". Therefore, we will not discuss it here, because it is not an effective parenting style. Kids with an uninvolved parent often struggle with feelings of rejection, lack of self-esteem, and trust issues.
Let's take a look at the other three parenting styles - authoritarian, authoritative and permissive.
Authoritarian, authoritative and permissive represent the range of parenting styles, where authoritarian is on one end, the permissive on the other end, and authoritative in the middle.
The parenting style differ form each other in two aspects - structur
Humanistic Parenting
Author: Dr. Rafael Richman
Parents often come to my office feeling frustrated, exhausted, and overwhelmed. Many of them explain to me that they feel they are at the end of their rope and at a loss for what to do. Having read numerous books and articles on parenting, experimented with all sorts of techniques, talked to friends, school counselors, and teachers, they long for something that works; something that they hope might possibly help them in dealing with their child.
While some parents wish and request that I “fix” their child, many say they would be grateful to settle for anything that may help their child and alleviate their feeling frustrated.
Through years of consulting with parents, working with kids in therapy, and leading parent-skills training groups, I experimented with different approaches to helping parents. In wanting to simplify a large body of information, I arbitrarily categorized the world of parenting into two philosophies: behavioral and humani
Staying Joyful While Parenting
Parenting is a job you should enjoy, and you should be filled with joy to get you through the moments that’s challenging when it comes to dealing with your children’s attitudes and behaviors along with Family distractions and disappointments. I’m at peace because I’m filled with the joy of the Lord. The joy of the Lord is my strength. You can only be filled with joy when you know the Lord Jesus Christ for yourself. You may even be on the brinks of a martial break-up, Family separation, or your child may be “sick and afflicted, locked-up” in jail or in juvenile detention but through it all, you can find joy in suffering, you can find joy in serving, you can find joy in believing and you can find joy in your giving. You do all the above when it comes to being a parent whether you are a single parent or if you are happily married.

Parenting With Love and Limits
Author: Chantel Seabrook
Kids aren't born with a set of moral guidelines built in. In fact, if you have ever spent time with a two year old you'll start to realize that the opposite seems to be true. If there is a button to press, a glass to spill, or a temper tantrum to have, it will be done.
It is our job as parents to teach our kids what is acceptable and what is not. There is a whole generation of parents out there that has forgotten, or was never taught, that children need limitations. Kids need to know what the boundaries are and what will happen if they cross them. Believe me, we aren't doing anything good for our kids by letting them rule the roost. Too many parents today confuse lack of restriction with love.
Love does have limits. While every child needs love, and this generation of parents, especially dads, have improved on physical acts of love, love without limits is perilous. Children do need some degree of freedom, but that freedom has to be age appropriate and nev
