Yes, I'm considering proposing this for deletion. Sourcing is poor. Tacyarg (talk) 21:23, 25 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. This article is a mess an incoherent and poorly sourced mess. 2A02:2454:398:3A00:A09D:C72A:5526:C57D (talk) 13:04, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Parenting styles (former heading)

Authoritative, authoritarian, indulgent, or neglectful parenting influences the development of children's attachment styles and their adjustment ability in order to survive and reproduce.^[1]

Authoritative parenting style is associated with the highest level of adjustment in children and is characterized by three factors. First, the parent makes age appropriate demands by insisting that the child behave in an appropriate intellectual and emotional manner. Second, the parent is rational and communicative by giving limits of appropriate behavior and communicating these underlying values to the child. Third, when the child is behaving according to the limits that are set, positive reinforcement and praise are used. Children whose parents raised them with authoritative style will have greater secure attachment leading them to be more successful in both romantic and social relationships.^[1]

Authoritarian parenting style is associated with moderately well-adjusted children. The parent lacks the communicative skills of an authoritative parent and does not convey value to the child or give proper attention when necessary. Children who were raised by parents who had authoritarian parenting skills may have greater tendency towards avoidant or insecure attachment issues. This leads them to experience decreased success in relationships and a decreased chance of reproduction.^[1]

There are two types of permissive parenting styles; indulgent and neglectful.^[1] Indulgent parents do not create proper boundaries for their children and provide them with positive reinforcement even though it is not applicable. Neglectful parents create no boundaries for their child and ignore their needs. Both indulgent and neglectful parenting styles can lead children to develop insecure attachment issues as they may feel that they cannot trust those who are around them to be loyal.^[1] Biohistorian15 (talk) 14:22, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
