There are convincing links between parenting styles and the effects they have on children. Psychologist Diana Baumrind conducted research demonstrating that all parents display one of four parenting styles. Which of the four is the most successful?
  1. Authoritarian parenting
  2. Authoritative parenting
  3. Permissive parenting
  4. Uninvolved parenting
Explanation
Answer: B - Authoritative parents establish guidelines and rules their children are expected to follow. The parents are responsive and willing to listen to questions. When children fail to meet expectations, there is nurturing and forgiveness. The main motivation for authoritative parents is for their children to be assertive, socially responsible, and cooperative. Punishment is not an option.
