Human Growth and Development / Unit 6 HGD 0775 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Permissive and Uninvolved
Captions available
The idea
Permissive parents are warm but set few limits, bending rules to the child; uninvolved parents are low in both warmth and control.
In practice
A permissive parent giving in to every demand, and an uninvolved parent barely noticing the child at all.
Where people slip
Children of permissive parents often struggle with compromise and rules; uninvolved parenting carries risks of poor coping and behaviour.
