TIGER PARENTS want their child to succeed in life, so they emphasize hard work and achievements. Often they tend to take over their children's sense of internal control and self-motivation to push their children to attaining excellent grades at school or success in high-status extracurricular activities. As long as their child succeeds, tiger parents believe that they have fulfilled their parental responsibilities. Examples of tiger parents are Jessica Huang from Fresh of the Boat or Darth Vadar from Star Wars saga.
DOLPHIN PARENTS have rules and expectations, but also encourage creativity and independence. They are collaborative and use guiding and role modelling to raise their children. Like the dolphins in a pod, they teach their children build a sense of community and contribution. Famous dolphin parents are Phil and Claire Dunphy from Modern Family and Mary Poppins
ELEPHANT PARENTS are a tad bit more protective about their kids, but they want to give their children the opportunity to enjoy themselves and to have a carefree childhood. Being an Elephant parent does not mean to clear their children's path from obstacles, but to teach them social skills to solve any problems and being there for them. A famous Elephant parent is Marge Simpson from the Simpsons
PANDA PARENTS use the perfect ration of cuddliness and claw. They encourage their children to follow their own path, gain responsibility and to learn from their mistakes. They feel that their duty as a parent is to be their kids' greatest supporter and to keep their optimism intact. Famous Panda parents are Mr Ping from Kung Fu Panda and Marlin from Finding Nemo
JELLYFISH have fewer rules, lower expectations and little confrontation as other parenting styles. They want to give their child a lot of independence and allow them to learn from experience than rules. The main goal of many Jellyfish parents is to make their kids happy and often overindulge their children. Famous Jellyfish parents are Homer Simpson from the simpsons and Lorelai Gilmore from Gilmore Girls
