Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hailey's parents exhibit characteristics of an authoritarian parenting style, which is defined by high demands and expectations for obedience without much in the way of communication or explanation from the parent to the child. This style contrasts with authoritative parenting, which also involves high expectations but is balanced with high responsiveness and more open communication. Permissive parents are more lenient and less likely to enforce strict rules, while indifferent (or neglectful) parents show low responsiveness and low demands.
