Quiz on authoritative parenting

Which of the following describes the outcome of authoritative parenting?

Children may grow up feeling loved but insecure because their parents don’t provide boundaries. This may lead to irresponsible behaviour, poor social skills and lack of self-discipline

Children may be quite obedient. They know the rules and follow them but rather out of fear of punishment. That may lead to lower self-worth and make them become defiant or aggressive. It can also increase dependency on others to make decisions and decrease the likelihood to take on responsibilities or solve problems

Children tend to be more emotionally mature, have good social skills and well-being. They’re usually happy and self-confident, able to participate in decision-making processes and to take on age-appropriate responsibility.

Children grow up feeling less loved and supported because parents tend to cater only for their basic needs. Their social skills are not developed appropriately and they may show problem behaviour, be withdrawn and suffer from anxiety and stress.
