Everyone parenting styles are different and this a normal thing because of culture, customs and beliefs that families inherit and practice. There are pros and cons to parenting styles that reflect the complexity of their child in the context of social conflicts and encounters and many more multi-dimensional concepts. There are four concepts that directly categorize these parenting styles, Authoritative, Authoritarian, Permissive and Neglectful. Within these four styles they all fall into a range of Demanding and Responsiveness. 

             I can reflect mostly on two of those parenting styles of Authoritarian and Neglectfulness. Growing up and not always having that support of my mother as well as my father not being caused a neglectful parenting relationship. Always fighting and wanting attention from them no matter what as well as having to deal with some situations on your own because you don’t feel comfortable asking other family members questions. It causes a big form of neglect ion in my life and sometimes left me confused and sad isolating myself as it seems as the only way of surviving or not feeling different. However, when I began to stay with my aunt and grandmother the parenting style changed. They had an Authoritative approach. Yes, they had their stick moments, but it was all out of love and protection for me and learning about life growing up. However, they just did tell me something without explaining and as well they did not just give their point of view without listening or asking me why I did a certain thing or explain why I felt or acted this way.  It allowed me to learn more and see the consequences of my future actions better from having experience and explanations.

                I would want my teaching style to be a combination of Authoritative and permissive style in my career of teaching. With the Authoritative learning style, I want to be able to be care taker to the students in a way. Students spend more time in school than at home and now school resembles more of prisons rather than a safe, loving place to be in. I want to be able to connect to the students and help them in which they are comfortable learning and when the have problems have someone that will listen to them and nurture them without always punishing them and yelling at them without understanding. As well I want to have some what of a permissive approach not always monitoring them and their every move, allowing them to relax not always telling them to be quite as we expect students to be in school for 8 hours without them having any freedom or enjoyment for themselves.
