We all know that neither too much warmth nor too much strictness is good for child. so what is the appropriate way to raise a child?

Psychologically there are four types of parenting:

Authoritarian parenting:                                

Demands of parents are too high and less responsive. In this parenting style parents have a set of rule and discipline in house. It is also called STRICT PARENTING. 

• they do not want or able to explain reason behind the rules. however they put less effort in  explaining them  and don't give any feedback.
• Children of authoritarian parenting are at high risk to develop self esteem since their thoughts are valued instead their parents make them feel sorry for their behavior. children may have less social competence since their parents makes their decision and do not allow  their children to choose for him/herself.

Authoritative parenting:

Parents have a set of rule and discipline like authoritarian parenting but they welcome their children's thoughts and willing to listen them. it referred as BALANCED PARENTING.

•  Parents are demanding and responsive. they  reward their kids for appropriate behavior  while  give punishment at inappropriate behavior but their punishments are not too harsh. they some restriction like set their screen time. Their disciplinary methods are supportive, rather than punitive. They want their children to be assertive as well as socially responsible, and self-regulated as well as cooperative.
• Children are tend to be happy and content, since their parents valued their suggestion they develop good social skills and good emotional regulation and self control. these children more independent are explore new dimensions without fear. they are competent and assertive. they easily express their warmth and are cooperative to their peers.

Permissive parenting:

Parents have less demands but highly responsive. this parenting generally refers as Indulgent parenting. 

• They are non traditional and lenient, do not expect mature behavior, parents often talk talk to kids but do not pay attention to stop any wrong behavior . they have an attitude of "kids will be kids" they easily forgive their children. and expect that they by themselves when grown ups.
• Children have high risk of BAD ACADEMIMS. usually children struggle with a lot of medical issues like obesity or dental issue, generally non cooperative to peers, may tend to be more impulsive, and as adolescents, may engage more in misconduct and drug use. Children never learn to control their own behavior and always expect to get their way.

Uninvolved parenting:

Parents are less cooperative, do not have high demands.

• Parents are very less responsive, do not show much warmth to their kids, are generally not involved in their child’s life, are disengaged, and do not set limits. Parents are emotionally unsupportive of their children, but will still provide their basic needs. 
• Children of such parenting may develop mistrust or develop the sense that other aspects of the life are more important. they usually avoid social and emotional engagement.
