HS 442 assignment 4.1. September 9, 2023
September Bonds Give an example of each of the four styles from the video presentation.
Uninvolved Parents
Uninvolved parents lack any involvement with their child. They tend to let them do whatever they want just so they don’t have to deal and interact with their child. The parent has low demand for their child which in turn has the child doing poorly in school and has poor performance. Children are at high risk for
depression and substance abuse when they don’t have parents involved in their daily lives. An example of an uninvolved parent would be my friend Jessica’s mother. She never was around for my friend Jessica. Even if her mother and father were back together for the small amount of time, her mother would be pissed off if she asked for anything or a ride. She would tell her to get her ass out of the house and walk to where she wanted to go. All her mother ever did to her was use her name on electric bills and credit cards and ruin her credit before she was even 13 years old. Indulgent Parents
Indulgent parents will allow their children to act however the child wants. They are permissive instead of
guiding. They offer little guidance to their children and are more like friends with their children than they
are parents. Their discipline style is the complete opposite of strict. This type of parent offers little to no guidance for their children and actually allows their child to face life’s lessons on their own. An example
Of an indigent parent would be my father. My father never grounded me or told me I couldn’t do something. Any guidance that he ever offered me was just opinions about how the world stole ideas from him. He wouldn’t let me go out drinking and partying with my friends but he would let my friends and I party and drink with him. He was like a friend trying to watch out for me. Authoritarian Parent
This type of parent has high expectations for their child and give very little feedback or responsiveness either. The authoritarian parent's punishment style is very strict and harsh. They harshly punish their child and don’t offer them any explanation of their rules or why they child is being punished. This parent is very controlling and instead of teaching their child about self-control, self-love, how to control their emotions, and how to control their behaviors by making the right decision. They teach them more about the adherence of authority. An example of this type of parent was my mother. She would always ground me for months on end and never give me an end date. I’d always ask her how long I was grounded for, and she would just say until further notice. One time I got into a fight at school for sticking up to a bully and instead of my mom being proud of me or teaching me other ways to stop a bully. She would call me names and hit me and push me. One time I was playing with my Barbie dolls in the basement because I didn’t want to wake up my mom, and she came downstairs to see what I was doing and freaked out because I had Barbie’s out all over the floor. (It wasn’t like I didn’t pick up my stuff when I was done playing). She literally grabbed me by the back of my neck and squeezed as hard as she could and drug me through the house pointing out all the messes around the house (whether I made them or not) and then brought me back to the stairs and pushed me down them and told me to clean the whole house up or I’d be grounded again until further notice. And that would be a light punishment from her.

Authoritative Parent
The authoritative parent is a type of parent who acts like a role model for their child. They perform the same demands that they have for their child. They have authority and have rules in place but don’t act like a drill sergeant when it comes to teaching them. They explain why and what rules mean and why they have them instead of just saying because I say so. They respect their child and love their child but don’t act like best friends with their child. They let their child know they love them through their words and actions. They let their child know they can trust their parent with anything, and they are there for their child no matter what helping to guide them down a better path of self-love and acceptance and self-respect. They care about their child’s mental health and try to help fix it or get their kid help if they can’t help them themselves. It is the type of parent I strive to be. I don’t always succeed at being this type of parent and I know I make mistakes, but I do try my hardest every day to be the type of mother my child needs me to be. I want to be their guidance and their authority and I want them to know every choice has a consequence (can be good or bad).
