Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An authoritarian parenting style is characterized by high control and demands from the parent, with little feedback or allowance for the child's own voice or opinions. Baxter's tendency to quickly punish his son for breaking any house rules indicates a lack of flexibility and a focus on obedience, rather than fostering the development of independence and critical thinking.
