There are tons of old wives tales out there that you have most likely dismissed as being just a tale, like how the day of conception can determine a babyâs gender. However, this is one tale that actually has scientific evidence to back it up.
Authoritarian parenting is a style characterized by high demands and low responsiveness. Parents with an authoritarian style have very high expectations of their children, yet provide very little in the way of feedback and nurturance. Mistakes tend to be punished harshly. When feedback does occur, it is often negative.
Eleanor Maccoby and John Martin, expanded Diana Baumrind's research into parenting style. Baumrind put forward that there were 3 parenting styles Authoritarian, Permissive, and Authoritative.n fact often, the negative aspects of one style of parenting can be balanced out by the other parent with different ideas. It is more of an issue when there is a lot of conflict between parents about their style of parenting.
