These are the Five Parenting Styles currently used in Child Psychology today based on the work of Diana Baumrind, and Stanford researchers Eleanor Maccoby and John Martin.

The Supporting and Nurturing parent. 
The Authoritarian parent. 
The Permissive parent. 
The Disengaged or Uninvolved parent. 
The Overinvolved or “Helicopter” parent.  

These are the five styles identified by child psychologists. Of course, we all think we’re the supporting and nurturing parent… most of the time… 
If we’re honest though we know we have weaknesses or weak moments. 
How do we detect these behaviours in ourselves and how can we make the adjustments we need to make?  

In this episode Kate talks with an expert in early learning and development about the parenting styles that can be the most helpful for you.

One thing about being a parent – there’s no shortage of personalities to be surrounded by. Our kids, our partners, our family, our friends. They keep us laughing, growing, loving, and crying. If only they understood us. Like the musician Van Morrison once sang “When people understand what I mean, mama said there will be days like this.” Adelaide Australia’s Kate Mason is an author, wife, and mother who has spent her career studying personality and relationships. In this podcast she looks at why relationships work, and why some don't. She also looks at how our personalities impact our relationships and examines what compels our children, husbands, wives and others to behave the way they do. This podcast is designed to help you understand those you love. A half hour listening on your own, will connect you with the ones you care about the most.

Parenting is a tough gig, but the podcast Parenting and Personalities brings you closer to the ones you care about the most.
