1.Authoritarian Parenting Style

• You will buy this toy only, you have to score
  above 90 these are some of the common
  statements used by the parents following
  authoritarian parenting style.This is the most
  rigid of all the parenting styles wherein
  children are seen but not heard which means that
  children of the parents who undertake such
  parenting style are neither heard nor included in
  family decisions. There are higher demands and
  expectations by the parents and less response to
  the childrens desires and choices.These parents
  have strict rules and regulations at home, and
  the children are supposed to obey all of them
  without asking any question. These parents may
  even give strict punishments to their children if
  they disobey in any manner. This style is mostly
  used by the working class families than the
  middle class.
• These parents have all the authority of taking
  decisions, and they do not involve their wards in
  any decision-making. Such children may become
  hostile and aggressive, they hesitate in asking
  anything, and as a result, they have lower
  self-esteem and confidence, when they go out,
  they are not able to take initiatives and may
  face problems in making decisions.

2.Permissive or indulgent Parenting Style

• If you only step into your wards life when
  needed and you do not interfere in his/her life,
  then you may be tilted as a permissive parent.
  Parents following this style believe in complete
  freedom and self-reliance of their wards. The
  parents neither have high demands nor much
  expectations from their wards. This is most
  commonly used by the families where both the
  mothers and the fathers are working, and they do
  not have time to waste on asking questions, and
  they just say yes to most of the things.
• These parents play the role of a friend more than
  that of a parent. Parents do not believe in
  giving punishments to their wards, and they often
  give in when the child promises to be good and
  nice.
• Parents should not put extra restrictions and
  regulations on their wards, but if there are no
  controlled and well-maintained regulations which
  nowhere means dominating attitude of the parent,
  the wards may get into a serious problem that can
  be academic, emotional or social. Since children
  do not get any guidance from their parents as the
  parents do listen to them but they rely on their
  (wards)choice and do not guide them about their
  poor and wrong choices, the children feel free to
  do anything, and there are higher chances of
  delinquency.

3Authoritative Parenting Style

• You do what you feel like, Im there to help and
  assist you if you can relate to this quote, you
  are an authoritative parent. There are clear
  established rules in the family, but reasonable
  exceptions are always there.
• I want to take admission in web designing
  institute, says your ward and you reply
  theres hardly any scope, you will take admission
  in a medical college only if this conversation
  ever took place between you and your ward then
  you might not be an authoritative parent.
• Authoritative parents play the role of a friend
  when you discuss your personal issues with them,
  but at the same time they guide and assist you in
  the best way possible for you. They play the dual
  role of a friend and a parent. This style is said
  to be the best parenting style among all of the
  styles. Children of such parents are open to
  their parents, and they discuss, take guidance
  and assistance from their parents. When children
  have a maximum reach to the guidance of their
  parents, they become more aware as well as alert
  about the happenings and issues around the world,
  they are more confident, focused, and the
  children have high self-esteem and confidence.

4.Neglected or uninvolved Parenting Style

• Do you ask your child about his/her day in school
  or college? Do you observe if he/she is sad or
  happy??if you do thats appreciable but if you
  dont then thats something to be thought of!
  This is all about this parenting style, the
  parents following this style, do not give much
  attention to their wards, and they are so busy
  that they dont give proper time and attention to
  the children.
• Just like the permissive parenting style, here
  also there are no established rules and
  regulations for the children and the parents
  expect their children to raise themselves.
• They dont devote much time and energy in their
  childrens raising, and as a result, the child
  may not have a fear of committing any crime or
  any such wrong things.
• The children are found to be poor in academics,
  and they may be less social. Thus, it is the
  foremost duty of the parents to raise their
  children in such a way that whatever their
  children do is socially acceptable.
