PARENT STYLES

Parenting Resource 09 – Parent Styles

There are three main Prenting Styles discussed in the Toolbox video. They are:

1. Sergeant Major Parenting: lots of rules, not many reasons for the rules, and no emotional connection.

2. Jellyfish Parenting: Lots of love, but very few rules, or an inability to enforce rules,

3. The Parent Coach: The child is treated with love and respect while also being expected to take some responsibility for their actions.

Do you think love and connection, rules and structure can co-exist in the way we parent ?

Do you naturally lean towards love and connection, or rule and structure?

What’s your parenting style? What about your partner?

Love and respect work well with
rules and structure.
