Authoritarian Parenting Style

The best way to describe the Authoritarian Parenting Style just think about how the TV used to portray parents in the 1950's , very rigid, full of schedules and cold - Well that's exactly it.

An Authoritarian parenting style , has a lot of routine schedules , rules that the child must follow or else.. Well there are punishments, a lot of them .These parents make an environment where the child,is pressured to achieve academically and do as their told,in a fearful way.

These parents:
Like to say "Because I said so , that's why" rather than giving any explanations , for their requests.
They may shout or scream as a form of power control, as if to say I am the one that says the last words.
Show little affection physically and verbally : rarely any hugs or I love you's.
Have busy schedules to spend with their children , and when they do they are worried about what is it they achieved , rather than how they feel.

Ultimately this leads to children who are extremely obedient at home due to fear, but they might start becoming angry and frustrated at school .

Authoritarian Parenting style leads to : Low Self Esteem , the child is so used to being criticised by their parents, that they can't see how amazing they are, because they have this inner self-doubt instead.
Lack Of Emotional Intelligence- Because these children were told to , to repress their emotions and they never had the space to talk how they feel. These Children will repress their emotions with those around them and become withdraw rather then to voice how they are actually feeling.Some children will also end up rebelling against their parents due to years of repressing their emotions.

Parents are led to adapting to this parenting style because :
That's how they were raised
They associate routine and rigidity with care , because they think these are lifelong skills and is "tough love" when in fact, in the child's eye's it feels like torture.
Controlling behavioural problems

If this happens to have been your parenting style, how about we try to provide an environment filled with love and compassion , because at the end of the day, what memories do you want your child to hold of you? Maybe you did this parenting style because you knew no better , but let me tell you when was the last time you looked your child in the eye and said , what you were proud of them for? It's never too late to change parenting dynamics ,it all starts with a positive attitude.
