Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Authoritative homes provide structure, warmth, and appropriate expectations that lead to secure attachments, self-regulation, and positive problem-solving skills in children. This parenting style balances control and support and fosters autonomy and independence in children. Other styles, such as authoritarian, permissive, or uninvolved, have some flaws in terms of child development outcomes. Maternal homes could imply different parenting styles and do not necessarily ensure healthy child development.
