The authors note the importance of resilience in facing risky situations among people. Their research is focused on the effects of maternal parenting styles on the development of resilience in adolescent girls. The finding of this study is that authoritative parenting style has the most impacting effects on the development of resilience. The authors also report that combining authoritative parenting with friendly relationships with children and their mothers. It is indicated within this study that the children whose mothers use an authoritative parenting style develop and ability to adjust with the problems of social life, have independent lives and a preparation to accept family, personal, and social responsibilities. This study contributed to my understanding of the way the surrounding of people in their childhood shapes their behavior in the future. In particular, I was able to understand the role of parents in the development of their children’s psychological well-being.

The author of this article echoes Atighi and Atighi in reporting that the authoritative parenting style is the best approach of preparing and predicting resilience in children. He notes that this style of parenting concerns setting limits for children, reasoning with them and being responsive to their emotional requirements. The research also notes that the authoritative style of parenting is a common feature of the middle class settings of the whole world. It if further noted that children raised through such an approach have a higher probability of being self-reliant, independent, well-behaved, academically successful and socially acceptable. Concerning the subject of resilience, the author notes that children raised from authoritative backgrounds are likely to be depressed or report anxiety as well as engage in antisocial behavior such as drug abuse and delinquency. However, the researcher reported that as much as the authoritative parenting is fundamental for the development of psychological resilience, parents must strive to find the right balance between being too much permissive and being too strict because it might produce opposite results. This study raised my levels of awareness of the relationship between psychological resilience and the development of criminal tendencies in children. It also created a further awareness on the role played by parents in the reduction of child delinquency and crime, which is one of the hottest topics of discussion across the US.

The purpose of this study was twofold. First, the researchers wanted to develop a parenting style typology. Secondly, the study aimed to explore the connection between father’s and mother’s styles of parenting and the coherence between them and the adjustment of adolescents, attachment scale, resilience and bullying. The study found four styles of parenting similar for fathers and mothers; moderately, democratic of little disclosure, controlling democratic and supervisor democratic and one style that is suitable for mothers only; the permissive style. In addition, the research established that the indifferent parenting style is for fathers alone. In relation to psychological resilience, the present study established that adolescents whose parents utilized the supervisor democratic parenting model as well as democratic. Therefore, these findings are consistent with Dewar (2013)’s suggestion for the need to balance between being over strict and over permissive. It also indicates the need for parents to balance their approaches. This study expands my understanding of developmental psychology by further suggesting the attachment that children develop towards their parents and the stages of development when such attachment happens.

The authors note that the style of child-parent relationship is one of the most critical factors in the development and shaping the emergence of resilience. The study, therefore, examined the association between the styles of parenting and resilience. It reveals that the acceptance involvement style of parenting was the most influencing the development of resilience among children. Another finding was that the strict supervision and psychology autonomy models of parenting do not have a significant impact on the development of resilience among the children. In comparison to other studies already reviewed, the present study is consistent in emphasizing the need for parents to balance between being too much supervisory and being too permissive on their children because they do not develop resilience in their children. The current study will build on my understanding of different styles of parenting and their effects on the development of children.

The perspective of this study is different from the first four. The authors investigate the connection between successful aging and parenting styles. They posit that the increase in the world’s elderly population is an alarm for the need to study what styles of parenting have positive impacts on psychological resilience because resilience influences successful ageing. Like all the studies indicated, the present research reports that elderly people whose parents used the authoritative and positive styles of parenting have considerably higher mental resilience levels and lower anxiety and depression levels. it also indicates that subjects whose parents used the authoritarian approach to parenting experienced higher anxiety and depression with low levels of mental resilience. The present study broadens my understanding of developmental psychology through relating the impacts of parents on the ageing of their children; it indicates that parenting has long-lasting effects on resilience.
