Care of the Child ATI Study Guide Review
Chapter 1 Parenting styles:
§ Dictatorial or authoritarian
o Super strict parents, it’s their way or the highway
o Parents try to control their child’s behaviors through unquestioned rules or expectations
o Ex. the child is never allowed to watch tv on a school night
§ Permissive
o Very laid back, allow children to set their rules
o Parents exert very little control over their child’s behaviors; consult the child when making decisions
o Ex. the child assists in deciding whether or not they can watch tv on a school night
§ Democratic or authoritative
o Right in the middle, not too strict but also not too permissive
o Parents direct the child’s behaviors by setting rules and explain the reason behind them
o Parents negatively reinforce deviations from the rules and may do so by taking privileges away
o Ex. the child can watch tv for 1 hour on school nights as long as their homework is done
§ Passive parents
o Do not care what is going on, don’t even consult with the children. Uninvolved, indifferent or emotionally removed
