Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Authoritative parenting, characterized by high responsiveness and high demands, is associated with higher self-esteem in children. This style balances the expression of individuality with the enforcement of limits, unlike permissive parenting, which Beth seems to favor, that may lead to lower self-esteem due to a lack of guidance and boundaries.
