1. Authoritarian one.
2. Authoritative one.
3. Indifferent one.

2
Rationale:
1. Children in the authoritarian parenting family are denied the opportunity to develop some skills in the areas of self-direction, communication, and negotiation.
2. The authoritative parenting style is one that results in positive outcomes for the behavior and learning of children. Nurses have observed that children from homes using this parental style more frequently have personalities manifesting self-reliance, self-control, and social competence. These parents should be praised for using the preferred approach.
3. The indifferent parenting style results in children who often exhibit destructive behaviors and delinquency.
4. Under the permissive parenting style, children do not learn the socially acceptable limits of behaviors.
