Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Authoritarian parents set rules without explaining the reasoning behind them, and tend to have a cold and distant parenting style. This is in contrast to authoritative parents who set rules but also explain the reasoning behind them and have a warm and supportive parenting style, and permissive parents who have few rules and are generally indulgent with their children. The term "cohort" does not relate to parenting styles.
