How can I navigate different parenting styles effectively?

It's important to understand the various parenting styles, such as authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and uninvolved. What specific styles are you dealing with?

I'm trying to balance between authoritative and permissive styles.

Balancing those styles can be tricky. Authoritative parenting encourages independence while maintaining limits, whereas permissive parenting is more lenient. How do you currently approach discipline?

I tend to be more lenient but want to set clearer boundaries.

Setting clear boundaries is essential. You might try establishing consistent rules while allowing some flexibility. Would you like tips on how to communicate these boundaries?

Yes, that would be helpful!

You can start by discussing the reasons behind the rules with your child, ensuring they understand the importance of boundaries. Would you like examples of specific conversations?
