There are following main types of parenting styles are:

You may call it a restricted form of permissive style. In this parenting style, children are allowed space/range and make their own decisions within those limits but with parental guidance.

  • Children's will have some Independence
  • Control
  • freedom
  • responsibility

Helicopter Parenting

In this parenting style, parents watch very closely their children. It is just like a helicopter hover over the sky. Helicopter parents hover over their children all the time.

  • Excessively control over their children.
  • Always come in to solve child's problem giving them less chance to overcome by themselves
  • low confidence in children
  • Persistently guide them all the time

Neglectful Parenting

Like its name, neglectful parenting style is where someone has very limited connections with the child's upbringing. No parents will be willing or wishfully have this type of parenting style. Normally this type of parenting style exists where both or either of the parent, mother, or father is too much busy with work, just to make food at the table and make their ends meet.

These parents have less involvement in their children's. In this parenting style, children mostly feel unloved.

Conclusion

The ultimate goal of every parent is to be the best parents of their children. You may choose any of one, or mix any of the parenting styles mentioned above. But we should also consider that financial issues affect parenting regardless if they are rich or poor.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
