Parental education has a far-reaching impact on children's growth, not only academic performance, but also character building, value establishment and social skills. This paper will discuss several common educational methods and their potential effects to help parents better understand their children's needs and personalities and choose the most appropriate educational methods.

Authoritative education

Authoritative education is strict with children, which may form a rigorous character, but it may also become too dependent and lack independent thinking.

Laissez-faire education

Laissez-faire education is loose and free, and children may be independent, but they may also lack a sense of responsibility and disrespect others.

Democratic education

Democratic education respects children and encourages expression. Children may be confident and open, but they may also be too self-centered and lack empathy.

Protective education

If protective education is excessive, children may form a character of dependence and fear, and feel fear of the unknown.

Incentive education

Children may be positive and have a sense of accomplishment, but they may also be too eager for outside recognition.

Punishable education

Punishable education criticizes punishment, and children may be afraid of failure, fear of making mistakes, and lack the courage to try new things.
