Teen Video on Parenting Style
There are three main styles of parenting as defined by psychology: authoritarian, permissive, and authoritative parenting. While authoritarian parenting focuses on rules and control, permissive parenting focuses on giving the child a sense of freedom. Both of these styles have disadvantages to them, but authoritative parenting, which is a midpoint between the two, incorporates the advantages of both authoritarian and permissive parenting while minimizing the drawbacks.
