Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the two key dimensions of parenting styles: responsiveness (the degree of warmth and support a parent shows) and demandingness (the level of control and expectations a parent enforces).
Recall that authoritative parenting is known for balancing these two dimensions, combining warmth with clear rules and expectations.
Identify that high responsiveness means the parent is supportive, nurturing, and attentive to the child's needs.
Recognize that high demandingness means the parent sets firm standards and enforces rules consistently.
Conclude that authoritative parenting is characterized by both high responsiveness and high demandingness, distinguishing it from other styles like permissive or authoritarian parenting.
