Parents choose to parent their child in their own way which leads to how the child will behave with the parent and others. Parenting styles continue to adapt and change with the times, as certain child rearing concepts are either accepted or not accepted by society. There are four primarily identified parenting styles known as authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, and uninvolved, however these parenting styles do not fit all families (Brody, 2021). Looking into a more expansive list of parenting styles can help to better determine what aspects of parenting affect a child’s behavior. New parenting styles have been developed by a television series known as “The Parent Test.” The show identifies twelve parenting styles (Poonia, 2023). These twelve parenting styles help to better explain the modern styles of parenting. These twelve parenting styles are known as: disciplined, traditional, intensive, natural, child-led, new age, routine, high achievement, helicopter, free range, strict, and negotiation. This study examines the relationship between parenting styles and child rule violating behavior.
