Wondering about the type of parent you are? Here is a list of common parenting styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Traditional Parent:<\/strong>\u00a0 Parents who teach their kids that \u2018Family is everything\u2019 Family is the biggest support system in times of crisis. They ask their children to concentrate on academics for a bright future. They are conservative and traditional in approach and not comfortable discussing controversial topics. These parents inculcate strict discipline & a stringent set of dos & don\u2019ts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over-protective Parent:<\/strong>\u00a0A child growing up under parents whose lives revolve around him\/her. If the child is not allowed to face life in all its shades, they will grow up to be excessively dependent, weak with poor problem resolution skills and will rely on others\u2019 help for trivial matters. Give your children the freedom to explore the world without constantly interfering in their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pushy parents:<\/strong>\u00a0These want to live their own unrequited dreams through their children. They want their kids to be winners all the time and this puts kids under tremendous strain leading to nervous breakdowns or even suicidal tendencies. Such parents find it hard to accept their child\u2019s failure. Rather than being pushy, share positive thoughts & feelings with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
