--Parenting Styles 03--

Hello! Here is the section #3. I hope that all of you have gone through section #1 and #2.

Section #3


The Laissez-Faire Parent


- Freely accepts all emotional expression from the child.

- Offers comfort but little guidance on behaviour, to the child experiencing negative feelings.

- Does not teach the child about emotions.

- Is permissive; does not set limits.

- Does not help or teach the child to problem-solve.

- Believes there is little you can do about negative emotions other than ride them out.

- Believes that managing negative emotions is a matter of hydraulics; realise the emotion and the work is done.


Effect on children


- They don't learn to regular their emotions.

- They have trouble concentrating.

- They have problems forming friendships, and getting along with other children.
