There are many topics that came to mind when trying to find a topic that I would like to have the means and knowledge to conduct a research on. One that struck my attention despite the fact that it has been the study for many years is “Parenting Styles, and its impact in Delinquency. As everything evolves and changes, so have parenting styles need to change in order to adapt to the different needs of young children.
We have various types of parenting styles such as Authoritative, Rewarding, Inductive, and Authoritarian. Many articles have examined the association between harsh discipline practices and negative outcomes, such as aggression and delinquency. Authoritarian parenting was associated with more delinquency, while authoritative with less delinquency.
I believe that the findings of my research will reinforce the importance parenting has in the present and future well being of the children and future adults. It is of vital importance that society realizes how vital it is to proper care for their children in order to avoid future problems as they become adults.
Last week I attended a Strong Roots training and went to a session about Parent Styles. We really discussed how our own parents style impacted our style with our own children. I see it as being cyclical, like child abuse. We learn what we live and it can be challenging to break that cycle. Every style has its advantages and disadvantages and we tend to use multiple styles depending on the situation and the child's personality.
