The nurse is working on parenting skills with a group of mothers. Which mother would need the fewest discipline-related suggestions?
1. Authoritarian one
2. Authoritative one
3. Indifferent one
4. Permissive one
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: The parenting style that results in positive outcomes for the behavior and learning of its children is the authoritative style. Nurses have observed that children from homes using this parental style more frequently have personalities manifesting self-reliance, self-control, and social competence. These parents should be praised for using the preferred approach. Children in the authoritarian parenting family are denied opportunity to develop some skills in the areas of self-direction, communication, and negotiation. Under the permissive parenting style, children do not learn the socially acceptable limits of behaviors. The indifferent parenting style results in children who often exhibit destructive behaviors and delinquency.
