Permissive parents exercise very little control over their children and allow them to do whatever they want. The other options, such as authoritarian parents who are strict and controlling or authoritative parents who set clear rules and expectations but are also responsive to their children, do not fit the description given in the question. Negligent parents are characterized by a lack of emotional involvement and supervision, but it is not clear from the question whether Brad and Jane exhibit such behavior.
