Coregulation

Question

Coregulation

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Coregulation involves general parental oversight while letting the child make moment-by-moment decisions. It is a collaborative parenting style where the parent offers guidance and support while allowing the child to develop their independence and decision-making skills. It is different from firm parental control and greater child dependence, which is indicative of an authoritarian parenting style. It also differs from a permissive child-rearing style where the child takes responsibility for making rules without any guidance or boundaries from the parent. An agreement between parents and other caregivers to be consistent with rules is a component of co-parenting but not coregulation.
