What is the difference between In my textbook the 2
statements read:
"Children of authoritative
parents are more likely to be
happy with themselves and
relate to others. On the other
hand, children of
authoritarian parents tend to
be depressed or guilty."
Thanks for the help everyone!

Authoritative parents teach, guide, correct and discipline in a loving way with the intent to be constructive to their children. They love their children enough to give consequences when their child disobeys. Authoritarian parents do not guide their children lovingly rather they are oppressive and there is not any room for any kind of openness or communication and a lot of the times unknowingly just tend to squash their children's dreams by trying to fulfill their own through their kids. Both of sets of parents do love their children, but the authoritative parenting is the way to go and what both my husband and I choose to be. |
