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.
Thatâs the classic definition of the authoritative parenting style. And--using this definition--researchers have identified the authoritative parents throughout the world. But there is some variation.ut unlike authoritarian parents, authoritative parents show high levels of warmth, and they emphasize the reasons for rules. When kids make mistakes or misbehave, they attempt to reason with their children. Authoritative parents encourage a verbal give-and-take, and explain the consequences of good and bad behavior.
