Parenting - Authoritarian, Authoritative, Permissive
Authoritative parents are both demanding and controlling, but they are also warm and receptive to their children’s needs…they have established rules and also listen to their children’s opinions about those rules. Children of authoritative parents tend to be self-reliant, self-controlled, and content.
…Authoritarian parents are demanding and highly controlling, but detached and unreceptive to their children’s needs…they establish rules without explanation and expect them to be obeyed without complaint or question. Authoritarian parenting produces children who are discontent, withdrawn, and distrustful.
…Permissive parents are nondemanding and noncontrolling. They tend to be warm and receptive to their children’s needs, but place few boundaries on their children. If they do establish rules, they rarely enforce them to any great extent. These parents tend to produce children who are the least self-reliant, explorative, and self-controlled out of all the parenting styles.
NOTES
This totally crosses over into the workplace in employee and manager relationships…coaching, meaning, challenge, and autonomy at work.
