Authoritarian
Authoritative
Permissive

4. Authoritarian
Parents are the bosses; don’t feel they need to explain their actions or Demands. Try to control attitude and behavior of their children.

5. Authoritative
Parents allow children to have a say, and participate in the decisions that affect their lives

6. Permissive / Laissez-Faire
Children have the final say; parents are non-punishing and far less controlling.

7. Disengaged / Uninvolved
Parents are typically egocentric and seem uncommitted to their roles and distant from their children.

Physical or mental injury, sexual abuse, negligent treatment, or mistreatment of children under 18.

Socialization – learning the rules of behavior of the culture in which you were born and raised. Identification – adopting the values and principles of the same-sex parent.

Sublimation – redirecting sexual impulses into learning skills (Freud). Few psychologists support this theory today. Role Taking – play that involves assuming adult roles. Helps children see different points of view
