The Differences in Parenting

Child care styles by parents depend on culture, religion, socio-economic status, political ideology, and socially accepted structure (Class, 10/11/11). The psychological structure of Macoby Parenting Paradigm describes four child-rearing styles based on parent's request and warmth (Class, 10/11/11). The child rearing method also reflects discipline ability used by parents. Parent-child relationship is an important factor in shaping a child's life. However, such a causal relationship may be disproportionately inequal.

Different parents use different parenting skills. Which guardian chooses which technology to use depends on cultural and community standards, child situation and behavior at that time. Parental control relates to the extent to which parents restrict the use of parenting skills, but the warmth of parents is related to the extent to which parents love, affection, and the degree of recognition to use. It is highly desirable that parents are willing to negotiate on common goals with their children. However, this does not mean that everything within the family system is negotiable. Parents and children should not be "responsible" all the time. Doing so may lead to an unhealthy power struggle within your family. Parents negotiate to teach the children that high-quality relationships are equitable or equivalent in sharing rights, responsibilities and decision-making.

Differences in parenting style culture can lead to misunderstandings and pressure to families. Compared to the promotion of independence of children, the common difference between parenting styles may be related to the importance of expression of affection for children, attitudes towards corporal punishment, and family responsibilities. Some cultural practices have very strict code of conduct depending on age and sex. When children with the background of CALD approach different cultural values, parents and carers may feel that the practices that worked in family culture may no longer be effective. This can lead to confusion and misunderstanding. Also, especially when a child becomes a teenager, it also causes family conflict and tension.
