This kind of parenting is characterized by warmth, responsiveness, and clear expectations. Authoritative parenting encourages independence, self-discipline, and social competence in children.
With high demands and low warmth, authoritarian parenting may lead to obedient but less socially adept children, with lower self-esteem and higher levels of anxiety.
Permissive parents are nurturing but often lack clear boundaries and discipline, potentially resulting in children with poor self-regulation, impulsivity, and difficulties in following rules.
Uninvolved parents are neither demanding nor responsive, leading to children with low self-esteem, poor emotional regulation, and academic difficulties due to lack of support and guidance.
Positive parenting emphasizes warmth, encouragement, and positive reinforcement, fostering resilience, self-confidence, and healthy social relationships in children.
