Authoritarian Parenting

Authoritarian parenting is a strict parenting style characterized by high demands and low responsiveness. Parents who adopt this approach establish clear rules and expect obedience without offering much warmth or emotional support. They value discipline and control, often using punishment to enforce rules. This type of parenting can lead to children who are obedient but may struggle with low self-esteem, social skills, and emotional regulation, as they may not have learned to express themselves freely or engage in open communication with their parents. Overall, it emphasizes obedience over independence and autonomy.
