Parenting styles

There are 3 major types of parenting styles
  1. Permissive: Gives the child too many choices, laid back, and unrealistic expectations. The child often thinks, "Do they even care?"
  2. Authoritarian/autocratic: Gives the child no other choice. "Because I said so." the child often rebels because they figure out the parent is just giving empty threats. 
  3. Authoritative/Active: Gives the child the right amount of choices. Parents are reliable and realistic. They set ground rules and enforce them with love and respect. 


What kind of parenting styles is the video below and example of? Which type of parenting style did your parents use? Which style do you plan on using with your children? (Yes, it is authoritarian!)
