Parenting styles are often divided into three categories: authoritarian, permissive, and democratic. An authoritarian parent would get his child´s attention through punishment or bribes. A permissive parent would wait until the child comes to him to discuss something. A democratic parent would evaluate the social dynamics and get the child´s attention by figuring out what the child´s motivation is. Children want to learn and act appropriately. It is the setting which most often sets a child up for success or failure. Each of the parenting styles also apply to teaching styles.
