10 2. Authoritarian Parenting (Demanding /Unresponsive) Psychology Degrees www.helpingpsychology.com Parenting Styles in Psychology Authoritarian, or strict parenting, usually involves high expectations by the parent but little open communication. http://images.mirror.co.uk/upl/m4/apr2009/6/4/single-parent-98682428.jpg

11 Children under this rule may have lower self-esteem as adults and are more likely to be lead by others. Psychology Degrees www.helpingpsychology.com Parenting Styles in Psychology http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/07/03/article-1197348-04511B6E0000044D-653_468x344.jp

12 3. Permissive or Indulgent Parenting (Undemanding/Responsive) Psychology Degrees www.helpingpsychology.com Parenting Styles in Psychology In this type, parents have low expectations and allow their children to make their own decisions. http://www.topnezws.in/files/Parents-1.jpg
