What is a permissive parent and what might the outcome be for a child raised by one?
What will be an ideal response?
Permissive parents are rated low on both demandingness and responsiveness. They try to minimize the amount of time and emotion that they devote to parenting. Thus, they spend little time correcting the child's behavior and little time setting limits. These children grow up to take those messages with them as they function in the world.
