Abstract

ABSTRACT

The family, according to the CIS (Spanish Institute for Sociological Research), is one of the main concerns for Spaniards (barometer September 2010). Therefore research around parenting styles is most important as parenting styles impact children education. As agents of socialization, they facilitate learning of attitudes and behaviours which are based on the values of parents, transmitted to children through their relationship styles. In general, in education there is not a pure style, but there are guidelines that define how to educate: the intensity and frequency with which we show our affection, the quality and quantity of communication, and how to set limits and standards. Using the “Teaching Styles Questionnaire”, we conducted a descriptive study of the relationship between parents and children, in order to explore parenting styles; and provide guidance for family education that develops skills and abilities in the parents, and facilitates children’s educational processes. We found that democratic forms of education are characterised by displays of direct of love and affection of parents towards their children and a high degree of autonomy, while the absence of signs of affection, poor communication, excessive control and punishment of unwanted behaviours in children, may be related to more authoritarian styles of education
