[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I completely agree that it is important to have aligned approaches between parents and caregivers.

However, I do not think OP's outline of "the 4 parenting styles based on research" is an unbiased listing of parenting styles.  There is clearly only one 'right' answer in OP's list.  But the range of approaches to parenting as a whole, let alone any number of issues (feeding, sleep patterns, discipline, religion, education, etc...) is far more nuanced than this.[/quote]

Please do indulge yourself and take a look. Feel free to add what the specifics are that you think are not evaluated accurately.

Not only that but the research is based on "style" overall and how it affects discipline I feel. Not such things as feeding and sleep patterns. I doubt it makes a huge difference or would cause awkwardness or strife because mb and nanny feed the child at different times everyday or because nanny always sits down or cleans up while child eats while mom does it differently. These things would be chalked up to m-f routine no different than how it would differ for a child that goes to school during the week and is used to family style lunch with teachers and classmates vs eating on a TV tray during movie time with parents at home.

The styles are very accurate from what I have experienced during my numerous years of working with many different ages in many different settings ranging from in their homes to classrooms. Even my own childhood. These ARE NOT my words but the words of the authors of articles and based on research.[/quote]
