5 Styles of Parenting
There are four widely researched styles of parenting: authoritative, permissive, authoritarian and neglectful. The styles range from controlling to undemanding; and from cold and unresponsive to loving and receptive. In recent years, over-involved parents, who are present in every aspect of their child's life, are often referred to as the fifth style. They are also known as snowplow or helicopter parents.
