Topic 3 DQ 1
Which of the four parenting styles, neglectful, permissive, authoritarian, or authoritative,
do psychologists recommend and why? Describe unfavorable outcomes associated with the
remaining three parenting styles.
Psychologists advise authoritative parenting as one of the four parenting philosophies. Long-term
outcomes for children reared in this manner in terms of emotional and social situations are better.
Parents who speak with authority are considerate, accommodating, and frequently mindful of
their children's needs. They act as mentors for their children by having open discussions with
them about ethics and reason. Children that have supportive parents as role models are frequently
disciplined and able to think independently. A permissive parenting style may result in parents
providing just minimal guidance or direction to their children. Parents that are not as involved as
they should be exhibit a negligent manner. However, since they typically deal with their own
issues, this is not always the case. They may also be viewed as being cruel and frigid. Tough
love and extreme sternness are common in the parenting styles of those who exercise authority
(Grison & Gazzaniga, 2021).
