What will be an ideal response?
Authoritarian parents attempt to shape, control, and evaluate the behavior and attitudes of their children in accordance with a set standard of conduct, usually an absolute standard that comes from religious or respected authorities. For these parents, obedience is a virtue, and they punish and use harsh discipline to keep the adolescent in line with their rules.
Authoritative parents attempt to direct their children's activities in a rational and intelligent way. They are supportive, loving, and committed, encourage verbal give and-take, and discuss their rules and policies with their children. Authoritative parents value being expressive and independent but are also demanding. The children of such parents tend to be competent. In addition, girls are achievement-oriented and boys are friendly and cooperative.
Permissive parents are less controlling and behave with a nonpunishing and accepting attitude toward their children's impulses, desires, and actions; they consult with their children about policy decisions, make few demands, and use reason rather than direct power. Girls with such parents are less socially assertive, and both boys and girls are less achievement-oriented.
