Chapter 1: Family centered nursing care
1. Parenting styles
-Dictatorial or authoritarian:
-Parents try to control the child’s behaviors and attitudes through
unquestioned rules and expectations
-Ex: The child is never allowed to watch television on school nights
-Permissive:
-Parents exert little or no control over the child’s behaviors, and consult the
child when making decisions
-Ex: The child assists with deciding whether he will watch television
-Democratic or authoritative:
-Parents direct the child’s behavior by setting rules and explaining the reason
for each rule setting
-Ex: The child can watch television for 1 hr on school nights after
completing all of his homework and chores
-Parents negatively reinforce deviations form the rules
-Ex: The privilege is taken away but later reinstated based on new
guidelines
