Question 1
1. Which parenting style
usually produces children with the greatest confidence and self-esteem?
a. permissive
Answer:
Sorry, this is not correct. Children seem to fare best when they have been raised by parents who are not permissive, authoritarian, or rejecting-neglecting, but who are authoritative - who exert control without depriving their children of a sense of control over their own lives. Because authoritative parents openly discuss family rules, their children perceive that they, rather than their parents control what happens to them. Studies reveal that people who perceive control over their lives become motivated and self-confident. Consequently there is a positive relationship between authoritative parenting styles and increased self-esteem.
