There are three different types of parenting styles that are based off the demandingness and responsiveness the child receives. Demandingness and responsiveness has to do with the expectations the parent has on the child and their behavior.

Relating Parenting Styles Back to Me
Growing up my mom was an authoritative parent. She has high expectations for me and and expects nothing less than the best however, she supports me in whatever I chose to do. My mom listens to what I have to say and gives me the opportunity to question things. I am really glad I had a parent who let me have my own voice and gave me the chance to develop my own opinions on things.
My father had a different parenting style. He was neglectful and never around. When I did get to see him he was more of an authoritarian parent. I couldn't question what he told me to do. It was his way or no way.
Relating Parenting Styles to Occupational Therapy
As a school based occupational therapist it will be very important for me to recognize that different styles of parenting may be associated with different outcomes in a pediatric OT setting. Generally the authoritative style is linked to positive behaviors such as strong self-esteem. Research has proven repeatedly that parenting styles have a pretty strong correlation with how children will abide by the rules in society. Therefore, it is important for me as an OT to analyze the different parenting styles, their effects, and what works best for them and their child to set long term goals in occupational therapy.
