They have listened to me as I expressed my opinion on anything and everything. Whether it was deciding …show more content…

I was not a child who had such strict parents that I was not allowed to do anything or go anywhere, but I had parents who cared about me and my well being. I had rules I had to follow and If I did something wrong I had to face the consequences. My punishments for everything I did wrong were never unfair. My parents always gave me a chance to explain my reasoning. Whether it was a good or bad reason I was always able to explain my reasoning for whatever the circumstance was. My parents were not as strict as authoritarian parents because they allowed me to explore freely and make decisions on my own. My parents have always had great expectations for me and I have never wanted to let them down. Both my mom and my dad have shown warmth and nurture to me as I was growing up and to this day still do. I never doubt that they will ever stop expressing the love for me in this way. There has never been a time when they have not shown me warmth or nurture, this, I believe, is one of the most important characteristics of authoritative

I am grateful to be in the position I am today. My parents tried to move away from the Asian stereotype that all Asian parents tend to be more Authoritarian. My parents decided to be more permissive-indulgent; they would set fewer rules than more parents, were more caring than most parents, were more open to their children’s ideas, etc. While that may seem like the perfect parenting style and one may assume that with that type of parenting style, I would be set up for success. However, my parents would spoil their children and this type of behaviour would carry on throughout the years.

Parents with an authoritarian style have very high expectations of their children, yet provide very little in the way of feedback and nurturance” (Cherry). Essentially, it’s a ‘do what I say because I said so’ mindset. Throughout my childhood, there was never any negotiation; it was just if I did something slightly out of line, I would be punished. I had to eat my vegetables until I gagged; I wasn’t allowed to talk back or else my dad would hit me on the back of my hands with a ruler; They would take my phone and read through all of my texts and apps to make sure I wasn’t hiding anything from them even though I did nothing initially to warrant it.
