What style of parenting do you
default to while stressed?
Every parenting style has its unique strengths and limitations. Under stress, it’s common to fall back on the parenting style you grew up with, even if it’s not ideal for every situation. But here’s the good news: you’re not limited to just one approach.
Parenting is about adapting to the moment, with flexibility being a major asset. When safety is on the line, for example, an authoritarian approach with firm boundaries and clear instructions may be essential. But in other moments—such as encouraging your teen to seek help when they’re feeling vulnerable—a more authoritative style, full of empathy and open communication, can be the key to building trust.
While every parenting style has its place, research shows that the authoritative style—which combines warmth, clear boundaries, and open communication—is the gold standard for fostering well-adjusted, resilient children. Children raised with this approach tend to exhibit better emotional health, social skills, and academic performance.
However, when stress hits, it’s natural to revert to the style your own parents used, even if it doesn’t fully serve your child’s needs. If your default style isn’t authoritative, staying in it too often can lead to unintended negative consequences, as it might lack the balanced mix of support and structure children thrive on.
Being mindful of this tendency can help you make conscious choices. Aim to return to an authoritative approach whenever possible, knowing that this style generally brings the most positive outcomes for your child’s growth and emotional well-being.
Authoritarian
Authoritarian parents rely on strict rules, high standards, and punishment to control their child’s behavior. With rigid expectations and little flexibility, they maintain firm control. Children raised under authoritarian parenting may grow up fearing punishment and lack the opportunity to practice making their own decisions. As a result, some may become aggressively rebellious, struggle with social skills, and find it difficult to make sound decisions independently.
Authoritative
Authoritative parenting is often viewed as the gold standard because it blends warmth and adaptability with the clear understanding that parents maintain their role as leaders. This approach fosters a nurturing environment while ensuring that boundaries are not only learned, but respected; creating the ideal balance for guiding children. This style of parenting promotes mutual respect and understanding.
Permissive
Permissive parents often take pride in being their child’s best friend, offering warmth, open communication, and deep involvement in their child’s emotional well-being. However, this approach can have a downside. Without clear boundaries, children may struggle to understand limits and often end up taking charge, which can lead to challenges with responsibility and self-discipline later in life.
Neglectful
Neglectful parents provide for their child’s basic needs but give little attention beyond that. With minimal nurturing, expectations, or boundaries, the child is left to navigate life largely on their own. Children raised in such environments may struggle to control their emotions, fail to develop healthy coping mechanisms, and have difficulty maintaining social relationships.
