Parenting styles: What is yours?

Authoritarian

Authoritarian parenting becomes a dictatorship in which you are afraid all the time. Take for example the following situation that happened to one of my cousins. He grew up in a home in which rules were very strict, you could not even have a snack from the fridge without permission. Every act of disobedience was punished with physical and verbal violence. One of my cousins had a sensitive personality and grew up being scared of of everything. shy, and a very low self esteem. 

Permissive

In a permissive style of parenting, an advantage to this would be the trust that could be nurtured between the parent and child. With too rigid and strict of an upbringing leading to resentment and rebellion in some cases, the permissive style of parenting gives children the chance to create their own rules and discover the world for themselves. On the other side of this, permissive parenting opens the door to a lot of manipulation by the child and could be allowing the child to make dangerous choices because they don’t have the structure of other parenting styles. 

Authoritative

Authoritative is a great balance of permissive and authoritarian. My nephew was caught doing some things he should've been doing. His mother gave him a very harsh punishment but followed with a talk about her love for him and the Saviors love. I think this is a great example of Authoritative. Permissive can be destructive because of the high level of worth and low level of demand. Letting the child be immature.'
