I want to firstly clear up a major parenting misconception: Is there one correct way to raise a child? Straight-up, the answer is there is no one right way to raise a child. Like buying a car, becoming friends with your neighbors, or hanging out your clothes to dry on the clothesline, there is no single correct style you need to use for raising a healthy-minded, loving, successful child.
Having said that, there are four parenting styles you need to be aware of in raising a child which does explain what parenting styles are best for a child. However, how you go about using the parenting styles is up to your own judgment. There is no one right way to use the styles because there are so many variables in parenting.
The four parenting styles based on research in parenting are:
1. Low love/low limits
2. Low love/high limits
3. High love/low limits
4. High love/high limits
