Use the dimensions of warmth and control to describe the four major types of parenting. Which style seems to promote the best development in children? Explain

What will be an ideal response?


The four parenting styles are authoritarian (high control, little warmth), authoritative (fair degree of control and warmth), permissive (warmth but little control), and neglecting (neither warm nor controlling). If your goal is an independent, intelligent, and self-reliant child, then an authoritative style is the best. In cultures that are looking for more emotional restraint and less individualism, a somewhat more controlling model would be best.
