Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Overly permissive parenting involves giving children too much freedom, very little structure or discipline, ignoring or minimizing inappropriate behavior, and avoiding confrontation. These parenting practices lead to children developing an unrealistic sense of entitlement and an over-inflated ego, resulting in artificially high levels of self-esteem. This parenting style focuses on short-term emotional satisfaction rather than long-term character development, and children of such parents often struggle in relationships and society as they move into adulthood.
