Parenting Styles in Adolescence
Captions available
The idea
Authoritative parenting predicts adolescents' positive self-concept, school orientation and competence and fewer problem behaviours; neglectful parenting predicts the poorest outcomes.
In practice
A parent who sets clear curfews, explains them, and listens to her teen's case for changing them.
Where people slip
The misconception is that friend-style permissive parenting is best because it is warmest; teens report valuing guidance, and cultural findings qualify the pattern.
