What kind of parenting style describes you?
Permissive - You’re more of a friend than of a parent.
Authoritarian - You are in charge!
Neglectful - Uninvolved. Disconnected.
Authoritative - You set age-appropriate, reasonable rules. You empower and do not enable.
Compassionate Boss - You demonstrate many of the same positive characteristics as Authoritative, although you use a more demanding style as you blend in a little Authoritarian force.
