What are the different parenting styles and how do they affect relationships?

There are four main parenting styles: authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and neglectful. Each style influences children's behavior and relationships differently.

Can you explain the authoritative style in more detail?

Sure! Authoritative parenting is characterized by high responsiveness and high demands. Parents set clear expectations while also being supportive and nurturing, which fosters healthy relationships.

How does the authoritarian style differ from authoritative?

Authoritarian parenting is more about strict rules and high demands with low responsiveness. It can lead to obedience but may hinder emotional connection.

What impact do these styles have on children's future relationships?

Children raised with authoritative parents tend to have better social skills and healthier relationships, while those from authoritarian backgrounds may struggle with communication and trust.
