Describe the authoritative parenting style.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. The parents of the most capable children are highly restrictive and make strong demands for maturity. However, they also reason with their children and show strong support and feelings of love. Baumrind (2013) applies the label authoritative to these parents; they know what they want their children to do but also respect their children and are warm toward them. Compared with other children, the children of authoritative parents tend to show self-reliance and independence, high self-esteem, high levels of activity and exploratory behavior, and social competence. They are highly motivated to achieve and do well in school (Grusec, 2014; Grusec & Sherman, 2011).
