Authoritative parenting

Authoritative parenting holds both structure and warmth: clear rules explained with reason, high expectations paired with genuine support, and room for your child's voice in decisions that affect them. It's harder than either being strict or permissive because it requires you to think through your choices and stay present to who your child actually is.
