Parenting styles
Democratic
In a democratic system children are given choices and held responsible for those choices, even when the consequences are unpleasant
Your child dislikes veggies and refuses to eat them. You insist, and he questions you, ‘why should I eat?’ You tell him:Vegetables have vitamins and minerals that are required for your body. You need to eat them to stay healthy. You should taste them and see. Which one do you want to try, carrots, capsicum, or peas?
You tell your children to complete their homework before they go out to play or watch television. Your children do not do that. This is what you tell them: As you have not completed your homework, you cannot go out to play. If you finish it now, you can watch television.
Pros: :develops independent, boosts self esteem, mutual respect
Cons: requires perseverance, creates confusion,
Authoritative

A child struggles to get ready for school on time. His parents create a schedule to remind him what time he should be getting dressed, eating breakfast, and brushing his teeth. They remind him to look at the clock and stick to his schedule.
A 10-year-old is slow to get ready for school in the morning. His parents set a timer every morning. If he is ready before the timer goes off, he earns the opportunity to use his electronics that day.
Cons: fuels anger, lower self esteem, skewed perception of reality
Pros: obeys all rules, desire to do right, goal oriented
Permissive
parents tend to be very loving, yet provide few guidelines and rules
You tell your teenager to study as the exams are round the corner. But she has two late night parties to attend in the next two days. You do not object to it but allow her to go and have fun, while the studies take a backseat.
Daniel’s parents were highly affectionate to him. He was allowed to sleep late and wake up whenever he wanted. He was allowed to play loud music even if it disturbed the neighbors. He had his way almost all the time.
Pros: self esteem higher, encouraged to be creative, conflict is minimized
Cons: lead to risky behavior in older children, no real sense of boundaries, not used to hearing no
I believe in a democratic/authoritative parenting cause I believe you should have expectations for your child without having to much pressure on them but I don’t believe I have to explain absolutely everything
