    The passage describes different parenting styles and has users assess their own style based on their responses to various statements about their approach to parenting. It identifies four main parenting styles: Dominating, Permissive, Positive, and Unengaged.

    The four main parenting styles described are Dominating, Permissive, Positive, and Unengaged. Each has a description of the general approach and characteristics.

    Users are asked to respond to a series of statements with numbers 1-4. Their predominant parenting style is determined by seeing which number they selected most often across the different groups of statements, and looking at the description for that number.

    What is Your Parenting Style?

    behave properly.
    ❑❑ 2. I believe my children need freedom to learn who they are.

    ❑❑ 3. I have rules that are really important, and I expect them to be
    followed. But I am willing to be flexible about smaller issues.

    know where I am and they will do the same for me.
    ❑❑ 4. I don’t keep track of what my children are up to – they seem fine
    and have teachers and child care providers to watch over them.

    friends – we are so different from each other.

    ❑❑ 2. I can tell my child just about anything.
    ❑❑ 3. I let my children know what is going on, especially if it affects

    doing fine.

    So what is your parenting style?
    Scoring:
    Add up the number of times you responded to a question with a 1, 2, 3 or
    4 and put that number in the box under “Number of Times” to the right of
    the appropriate response number. Look at the response number where you
    have the highest number of times; this is your predominant approach to
    parenting, or parenting style.
    Number Parenting Style Description
    of Times
    1 Dominating You are firm believer in rules and have high
    expectations for behavior. You show your love by
    expecting the best from your children, but rarely
    show affection. Communication is generally one
    way – from you to your child. Sometimes you can
    be rigid and harsh in correcting bad behavior.
    2 Permissive You show your children lots of love, give them
    what they ask for, communicate openly and let
    them do what they want most of the time. You
    have trouble setting and enforcing rules. You
    prefer to be friendly rather than a disciplinarian.
    Sometimes you feel like your children walk
    all over you.
    3 Positive You believe children need your love, but you
    also have high expectations and believe your
    children need rules and guidance in order to
    meet these expectations. You view parenting
    as your most important job, and serve as a role
    model for your children by modeling the respect
    you expect from them. You believe in listening
    to your children, but when it comes down to it,
    you have the final say regarding issues involving
    safety, values and health. Your children know
    what you expect and they know you will be
    consistent, fair and firm.
    4 Unengaged You may feel uncomfortable about parenting
    because you don’t spend much time with your
    children. You may focus more on work or other
    interests. When you are with your children, you
    often are preoccupied and not focused on them.
    You assume the other parent is doing a pretty
    good job. You aren’t sure what you can do that
    would be helpful anyway.
