I believe the style that a parent uses to raise their children may have a tremendous impact upon that child, whether socially or mentally. The style can definitely affect the way their children act or react within the society. It can surely affect their children’ perspectives, values, and opinions. As Baumbrin mentioned in his study, the children that were raised by authoritative parents are more mature and responsible most of the time, I totally agree with his approach however it all depends on the child’s sex, personality, and attitude. An effective way that a parent can raise their child/children efficiently is by first observing their children’s personality and attitude and then they will be able to determine which style to use that would fits their child’s personality. I also believe that permissive style can be effective depending on the child, and it can also be ineffective based on the child. Furthermore, I can infer that various styles that parents use to raise their child differs based on the stages they are (infancy, adolescence). One style can be efficient for someone in their childhood but not in their adolescence. The style that once was efficient for a child may not always be for that child when he is in his adolescence.
