Role of Parenting in Upbringing of Adolescents
Subscribe/Renew Journal
The family has the most intense and consistent contact with the children from infantile dependence to at least the adolescent stage in every society. The family exerts a persistent influence in the life of a person because it is the family in which he has his first and most intimate experiences. Regardless of his age, a child has a need for love, acceptance, limits, and consistency. The child who does not experience affection in the home always faces difficulty to establish affectionate relationships with people outside. As a result, he appears to be rigid, which is a big hurdle in fostering good relationships in life. It is important to understand the parenting styles and emotional climate that children face at home to fully understand the processes of child development. Authoritarian, Permissive, Authoritative, and Uninvolved / Neglectful are four common parenting styles that refer parents use to raise their children. Parental acceptance-rejection affects not only the personality of a child but also the behavior and adjustment during a more crucial period in life, i.e., adolescence. Adolescent children face curiosity and anxiety due to physical changes that affect their self-esteem. Chief components of parenting are discussed in the present research paper. As a parent, there is a need of accepting our own limitations like the inability to spend quality time together, to know and accept our own physical and economic constraints. Investing time and energy in the child's early years can help to prevent small problems of childhood.
