Uninvolved Parenting

Examples of Uninvolved Parenting in the following topics:

• Authority Patterns

  • Parenting is usually done by the biological parents of the child in question, although governments and society take a role as well.
  • In many cases, orphaned or abandoned children receive parental care from non-parent blood relations.
  • These parenting styles were later expanded to four, including an uninvolved style.
  • Parents who practice authoritarian style parenting have a strict set of rules and expectations and require rigid obedience.
  • An uninvolved parenting style is when parents are often emotionally absent and sometimes even physically absent.

• Influence of Parenting Style on Child Development

  • There are four main parenting styles that most parents fall into: authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and uninvolved/neglectful.
  • Parenting style refers to the way in which parents choose to raise their children.
  • Through her studies, Baumrind identified three initial parenting styles: authoritative parenting, authoritarian parenting, and permissive parenting.
  • Maccoby and Martin (1983) later expanded upon Baumrind’s three original parenting styles by adding the uninvolved or neglectful style, which has the most pervasive negative consequences across all domains.
  • With the uninvolved style of parenting, the parents are indifferent and sometimes referred to as neglectful.

• Parenthood

  • These parenting styles were later expanded to four, including an uninvolved style.
  • An uninvolved parenting style is when parents are often emotionally absent and sometimes even physically absent.
  • Helicopter Parenting: over-parenting; parents are constantly involving themselves, interrupting the child's ability to function on their own
  • Strict Parenting: focused on strict discipline; demanding, with high expectations from the parents
  • Parenting is a lifelong process.

• Child Rearing

  • Parenting is usually done by the biological parents of the child in question, with governments and society playing ancillary roles.
  • Orphaned or abandoned children are often reared by non-parent blood relations.
  • These parenting styles were later expanded to four, including an Uninvolved style.
  • Authoritarian parenting is very rigid and strict.
  • In Uninvolved families, parents are often emotionally absent and sometimes even physically absent.

• Introducing Externalities

  • An externality is a cost or benefit that affects an otherwise uninvolved party who did not choose to be subject to the cost or benefit.
  • In economics, an externality is a cost or benefit resulting from an activity or transaction, that affects an otherwise uninvolved party who did not choose to be subject to the cost or benefit .
  • An externality is a cost or benefit that results from an activity or transaction and that affects an otherwise uninvolved party who did not choose to incur that cost or benefit.

• Positive Externalities

  • Positive externalities are benefits caused by activities that affect an otherwise uninvolved party who did not choose to incur that benefit.
  • Positive externalities are benefits caused by transactions that affect an otherwise uninvolved party who did not choose to incur that benefit.
  • The use of these resources, in turn, impacts the uninvolved parties.

• Negative Externalities

  • Negative externalities are costs caused by an activity that affect an otherwise uninvolved party who did not choose to incur that cost.
  • A negative externality is a cost that results from an activity or transaction and that affects an otherwise uninvolved party who did not choose to incur that cost.

• Child Custody Laws

  • Child custody and guardianship are legal terms, which are used to describe the legal and practical relationship between a parent and his or her child, such as the right of the parent to make decisions for the child, and the parent's duty to care for the child.
  • While the child is with the parent, that parent retains sole authority over the child.
  • If a child lives with both parents, each parent shares "joint physical custody" and each parent is said to be a "custodial parent. " Thus, in joint physical custody, neither parent is said to be a "non-custodial parent. "
  • A custodial parent is a parent who is given physical and/or legal custody of a child by court order.
  • A non-custodial parent is a parent who does not have physical and/or legal custody of his/her child by court order.

• Introduction to conditional probability (special topic)

  • Are students more likely to use marijuana when their parents used drugs?
  • The parents variable takes the value used if at least one of the parents used drugs, including alcohol.
  • P(student = uses given parents = used) = 125/210 = 0.60
  • What is the probability that at least one of her parents used?
  • P(parents = used given student = not) = 85/226 = 0.376

• Defining conditional probability

  • P(student = uses given parents = used) = 125/210 = 0.60 (2.37)
  • = P(student = uses | parents = used) = 125/210 = 0.60 (2.37)
  • = # (student = uses and parents = used)/# (parents = used)
  • P(student = uses and parents = used) and P(parents = used).
  • (b) Using the answers from part (a) and Exercise 2.41(b), compute P(parents = used|student = not) + P(parents = not|student = not)
