Understanding Parenting Styles

Parenting is a journey, and every parent takes a unique path. But some common "styles" emerge, each shaping a child's development differently.

Authoritarian parents set strict rules, demanding obedience.

Authoritative ones balance structure with warmth, fostering independence.

Permissive parents offer freedom, sometimes lacking clear boundaries.

Uninvolved parents, often unintentionally, leave children feeling neglected.
