Authorative Democratic Parent most resembles my parenting style.
April 29th, 2008 at 3:00 am
my own style is to let them try and figure the world out for themselves until they need a guiding hand
April 29th, 2008 at 4:50 am
Every child is different, so you have to be flexible
April 29th, 2008 at 5:41 am
basically I am The Authoritative (Democratic) Parent unless the choice they make is going to cause them harm I let them learn by doing then when they are older they know every act has a consequence
April 29th, 2008 at 7:23 am
I AM A LOVING MOMMY OF 4.I TRY TO BE FAIR AND OPENMINDED.I WANT MY KIDS TO COME TO ME IF THEY NEED TO TALK OR NEED HELP I WANT THEM TO KNOW I WILL BE THERE IF THEY NEED ME AND I WILL BE THERE IF THEY DONT.I LET THEM KNOW MY LOVE IS UNCONDITIONAL.
April 29th, 2008 at 7:38 am
I would never win mother of the year!
April 29th, 2008 at 7:42 am
I’m a parent who tries to instill values and morals while keeping a sense of humor in all areas…
Sometimes it works, sometimes it don’t!
April 29th, 2008 at 8:11 am
The Authorative (Democratic) Parent — I think it’s important for them to see the consequences of their behavior and to reap the rewards, or deal with the result. We have always been there for our kids — and advise them but always let them make the ultimate decision - Truthfully tho each child is so individual that this method is not always the best!
April 29th, 2008 at 8:40 am
I dont really have a parenting style yet since my daughter is only 7 months old but I will probably be the The Authoritarian Parent like my parents were
April 29th, 2008 at 8:49 am
The Authoritarian Parent seems to fit my parenting style.
April 29th, 2008 at 10:16 am
I am the The Authorative (Democratic) Parent
April 29th, 2008 at 11:38 am
I am way too laid back and easily manipulated!
April 29th, 2008 at 1:30 pm
I am every kind of parent. There are times when it’s “because I said so” and there are a lot of times when my daughter is allowed to make her own decisions. I guess it depends on the situation at hand. Every child is different and every situation needs to be handled differently.
April 29th, 2008 at 1:56 pm
I consider myself a mush but in reading the choices, I would say I’m closest to the Authoritative (Democratic) Parent then the others.
April 29th, 2008 at 1:56 pm
I agree with Rebecca… every child is different! Take it from someone who has a 12 year old son… a 10 year old step-daughter… a 4 year old step-daughter… 3 year old neice… 1 year old nephew… and a new one on the way!! We have custody of all 5 kids with a new one on the way… let’s just say it again… EVERY CHILD IS DIFFERENT!!! :)))
April 29th, 2008 at 2:17 pm
When I look at myself, I have to say I have numerous facets of parenthood. I’m the “one in charge”, I make sure they go to bed, get ready for school, or follow the rules. But I’m also the cool kid mom, I love to participate in kid’s activities, color with my guys, play soccer, watch cartoons, etc. I have quite an extensive knowledge of cartoon characters.
April 29th, 2008 at 2:58 pm
I would say that both my husband and I are Authorative (Democratic) Parents — with creativity and fun added in. We fit this style very well. We also try to be creative in our discipline and lesson teaching. It is important to us that our children develop character and honor — and try to acheive that not only with our style but with consistency and lots of love! Please enter me!
April 29th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
i suppose i’m the authorative democratic parent
April 29th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
i try to be fair and discipline accordingly love my children
April 29th, 2008 at 3:42 pm
My kids always said I ruled with an “Iron Hand” but a loving ones as well.
I’m from the old school (I’m 58 so that tells you I’m ancient according to my grandkids!) that had curfews and restrictions. My daughters always said they love me but they weren’t going to raise their kids the same way. Hah, I see now that I have 3 grandkids thay my oldest is doing a lot the same as I. What is nice, however, is that she also has some of her own “new” ideas incorporated with mine and she’s a wonderful mom so it makes me proud that some of “me” wore off on her but that she also kept her individuality.
Thanks!
April 29th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
I am a authoritarian parent. I try to control my son behavior and attitudes, stressing the importance of obedience to authority and discouraging discussion.It worked for my mother who raised four of us as a single parent
April 29th, 2008 at 5:42 pm
I’ve made my share of mistakes
April 29th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
Hi, I hope I am an Authoritative (Democratic) Parent. When my sons were old enough and wanted to pick out their own clothing, I let them! It gave them confidence by making choices. My major problem is being a little over protective. I am working on it…..Thanks,Cindi
April 30th, 2008 at 2:15 am
A fair and kind parent, who listens to her kids and talks to her kids….offering positive stuff when things are good and when things are not so good–discussing why-often times there is alot going on that we may not know about and they are behaving in certain ways because of this (example…being bullied at school). Also, having them share in the responsibilite of the household-chores, being kind to each other etc.
And being a good person to others-the kids learn by example.
It all works..i have 2 wonderful teens!!!
April 30th, 2008 at 2:33 am
Im a authoritative (democrat) parent who practices AP parenting. My kids have always slept with us, been worn as babies and breastfed. Even as older kids now, they are very confident and trustworthy.
April 30th, 2008 at 7:30 am
I am silly, love to give hugs but like being organized and disciplinary in my own fair way.
April 30th, 2008 at 8:47 am
I would be the authorative democratic parent. That’s pretty much how my mom raised me.
April 30th, 2008 at 11:15 am
I tend to be too laid back and allow my child to do a lot of what she wants. She does get punished with times out when she misbehaves but she has a lot of freedom. I have a tendency to be too picky when it comes to her because I am a neat freak and frown upon messes which I know is completely wrong. LOL
April 30th, 2008 at 2:16 pm
I’d have to say I’m a combo of the authoritarian and authoritative (democratic) parent. Thanks for the contest!
April 30th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
I would consider myself to be an authorative (democratic) parent.
April 30th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
I would definitely describe myself as an attached parent. I am currently a nursing, cosleeping and slinging mommy to my 2 month old baby girl. Thanks! I hope I win!
April 30th, 2008 at 6:32 pm
The Indulgent (Permissive/Non Directive) Parent is the type of parent i started out to be and had to learn from my own mistakes then i became a mixture of all the types of parents but above all i loved my kids.
May 1st, 2008 at 12:02 pm
laid-back
May 1st, 2008 at 1:42 pm
I am an attached, Authoritarian if that is possible.
May 1st, 2008 at 6:03 pm
Babies; what a wonderful way to start a person….
May 2nd, 2008 at 8:20 am
Authoritative/Democratic, but I have noticed as my children get older, you become even more democratic than when they were younger
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:20 am
democratic
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:35 am
Really not sure how my parenting would be described. I am there if they need me but let them try on their own first.
May 2nd, 2008 at 5:50 pm
Authorative Democratic Parent most resembles my parenting style.
May 2nd, 2008 at 6:18 pm
I love soft lullibyes. Teaches babies to relax early in their lives. I would love to see my 6 week old listening to this CD.
May 2nd, 2008 at 8:13 pm
I’m a The Authorative (Democratic) Parent.
When my kids get into trouble I always tell them it was “their” choice.
May 3rd, 2008 at 6:31 am
I would say I am closest to authorative, but with some authoritarian in there as well.
May 3rd, 2008 at 9:36 am
Trying to be an “Authorative (Democratic) Parent” to my first who is now 6 months old; trying not to be too concerned with every little boo-boo or temper tantrum, too.
May 3rd, 2008 at 8:00 pm
I believe in letting the child be independent and figure out creative ways to do things by themselves (within the realm of safety of course). I’m more of a laissez faire type parent!
May 4th, 2008 at 6:21 am
The neighborhood kids like to come over because you don’t have to take your shoes off when you come in and I’d rather play with the kids than clean!!!
May 4th, 2008 at 6:46 am
i am a loveing mother
May 4th, 2008 at 7:26 am
I am the all in one parent. I am mostly democratic, but there are just somethings I have to put my foot down on.
May 4th, 2008 at 7:34 am
I\’m a cross between the Authoritative (Democratic) Parent and the Authoritarian parent. It depends on the situation for me. I don\’t discipline like an authoritarian though. That seems too harsh for me.
May 4th, 2008 at 11:06 am
I’m an authoritative parent. I demand respect. I think I earn it also.
May 4th, 2008 at 11:36 am
I am a bit too lenient of a parent :)
May 4th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
I am an Authoritative parent with a touch of Authoritarian mixed in. I like to give my children the know-with-all to do it on their own, but sometimes that doesn’t work. So I need to take in the reins, and show them that they can have their choices taken away if they are in danger of harming themselves.
I have six kids and they range in age from 16 years old to 16 weeks old. I can honestly say it’s changed over time!
May 4th, 2008 at 2:03 pm
Love-filled
May 4th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
great prize
May 4th, 2008 at 6:20 pm
If I had to pick one, I would say more the democratic…Thanks!
May 4th, 2008 at 9:08 pm
I like to consider myself laid back but with high expectations.
May 4th, 2008 at 10:03 pm
I’m more like the Authoratative Democratic parent.
May 4th, 2008 at 10:22 pm
Democratic Dictator!
May 4th, 2008 at 11:33 pm
Im a great fur baby parent, i change thier litter and pet them. So im a good parent.
May 5th, 2008 at 6:25 am
Strict but with a soft touch. I tend to be strict but after I feel guilty and relrnt.
May 5th, 2008 at 7:13 am
Authoritative/Democratic is my style. I give them safe boundries and let them make as many choices as possible. One way was to have them manage their money early. I set up checking and savings accounts. I would have money put in their accounts each month. Out of this they would have to write checks for clothes, doctors, gifts to friends etc. They would have to move money to savings and charity.
May 5th, 2008 at 8:22 am
My kids are 12 years apart. I have a teeage daughter and a toddler son. He is way more active than my daughter was. I dicipline him when necessary but I pick my battles and punish him for the more serious infractions. With both of my kids my whole parenting style focuses mainly on allowing them to make thier own mistakes so that they can learn important lessons. I don’t of course allow them to put their safety at risk. I don’t pressure my daughter about her grades. As long as she does her best. I won’t pressure my son with anything he chooses to try. No matter what you do, consistancy is the most important thing.
May 5th, 2008 at 8:34 am
I try to be The Authorative (Democratic) Parent, but sometimes I’m indulgent and sometimes I’m authoritarian.
May 5th, 2008 at 9:45 am
loving and nurturing :)
May 5th, 2008 at 11:18 am
I am strict But easy going
May 5th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
I would love to win this!
May 5th, 2008 at 1:43 pm
Unfortunately, I am The Indulgent (Permissive/Non Directive) Parent. I am this way beI was raised by the total opposite.
May 5th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
i was an authoritative democratic parent - but am a much more permissive grandparent!
May 5th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
The Authorative (Democratic) Parent most resembles my parenting style. I want my child to learn from his mistakes, but I am always here to help guide him when needed.
May 5th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
Authorative (Democratic) Parent about 80% of the time. The other 20% defies description…its a combination of all 3 types I guess you could say.
May 5th, 2008 at 4:15 pm
I am the type that loves my kids enough to say no
May 5th, 2008 at 7:02 pm
I’ll have to go with The Authorative (Democratic) Parent.
May 5th, 2008 at 7:16 pm
I am the protector type.I try to teach them to be safe in school no fighting nor talking to strangers.
May 5th, 2008 at 7:17 pm
Simply put I live by the following: In front of your children Walk the WAlk; Forget the Talk. Simply put you lead by example and not by your mouth. Many Thanks SW Happy Mother’s Day to ALL!!!!!
May 5th, 2008 at 7:29 pm
It’s great to start them on the love of music as infants
May 5th, 2008 at 8:14 pm
I’m a little bit of each at different times with different kids. Every child is different, and I don’t always make the best parenting choices, but I try.
