RE: In Defense of "Permissive" Parenting; Children are Human Too

in #psychology8 years ago

For me the problem with this way of thinking is that it fails to take a childs age into account, parenting should go through each of these stages as the child grows, counter clockwise, from authoritarian to neglectful (when they pop off to university). being permissive with a 2 year old, is being neglectful, but being permissive with a 15yr old is fine. obviously it depends on the child, parent and lifestyle. Still I very much enjoyed reading this and it's given me plenty food for though, so thank you!
