Question

A parent who fails to set firm limits on age-appropriate behavior required for a young child would be using which parenting style?

• A. Authoritarian
• B. Authoritative
• C. Permissive
• D. Disciplinarian

Hint:

In contrast, authoritative parenting strikes a balance between discipline and responsiveness, often leading to more well-adjusted children.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Permissive parenting is characterized by a lack of rules, boundaries, and expectations. Parents who adopt this style tend to be nurturing and accepting but fail to enforce consistent discipline.

• Impact: Children may struggle with self-regulation and authority.
• Goal: While permissive parents often aim to foster independence, the absence of structure can lead to behavioral and emotional challenges.
