A nurse is conducting parenting classes for parents of adolescents. Which parenting style should the nurse recommend?
a. Laissez-faire
b. Authoritative
c. Disciplinarian
d. Confrontational
ANS: B
Parents should be guided toward an authoritative style of parenting in which authority is used to guide the adolescent while allowing developmentally appropriate levels of freedom and providing clear, consistent messages regarding expectations. The authoritative style of parenting has been shown to have both immediate and long-term protective effects toward adolescent risk reduction. The laissez-faire method would not give adolescents enough structure. The disciplinarian and confrontational styles would not allow any autonomy or independence.
