The most common types of family education

Based on the above factors, we can identify 576 different types of "correct" and "incorrect" family education, but in real life, there are usually only 8 major:

  1. Emotional rejection - parents are meager in manifestations of emotions to the child and very soon he is also disaccustomed to show emotion towards them. Such children grow up closed, they have an extremely poor emotional sphere and low self-esteem.
  2. A brutal attitude is often accompanied by emotional rejection. Rigidity can manifest itself in both physical and psychological abuse of the child. Children who are brought up in this way often demonstrate personality disorders and a high level of aggression.
  3. Increased moral responsibility - the imposition of unfulfilled expectations and hopes on the child, a formal approach to it. Emotional sphere of such children is also poor, they are lost in intensely emotionally colored situations.
  4. Conflicting upbringing arises in the case of confrontation about the styles of education within the family. Such children grow up anxious, hypochondriac, hypocritical.
  5. Hypoprotection - lack of real interest in the life of the child, lack of control. "Neglected" children run the risk of falling under someone else's negative influence.
  6. Hyperprotectics - hyperopeak , the desire to fully control the child and to protect him from the outside world. Often is a consequence of the parents' unrealized need for love. Excessively cared for children grow up to be selfish, unable to join the collective normally.
  7. Hypochondria - develops in those families where the child has been ill for a long time with a serious illness. The whole life of the family is tied to his health, everything is refracted through the prism of the disease. Such children are egocentric, press on pity.
  8. Love is the ideal type of family education, when parents unconditionally accept the child, take into account his interests, encourage the initiative.
