Children whose parents have a laissez-faire disciplinary style tend to be disrespectful,aggressive,and disobedient.A laissez-faire disciplinary style includes inconsistent use of discipline,allowing children (rather than the parents)control over the environment,few rules,and children making their own decisions rather than being guided by parents.The other options may be true,but without further assessment,the nurse cannot make those conclusions.
