What will be an ideal response?
In other cultures outside the West, it had been assumed that the authoritarian parenting style was more common than the authoritative style. However, the outcomes for children in these cultures were not negative, as they tend to be in the West. For example, in Asian cultures, there is a tradition of filial piety, meaning that children defer to their parents out of respect; there is no discussion or negotiation. This does not mean that the discipline is cold. Likewise, in Latino culture, parents and elders are given respect. Children may perceive this strict parenting style as their parents showing they care. The same parenting behaviors seem to have different meanings in different cultures.
