Parenting Styles Directions: Read each of the following scenarios and indicate which parenting style best describes each adolescent.  Number each one. This child-rearing style combines low acceptance and involvement with little control and general indifference to autonomy granting. This child-rearing style is warm and accepting, but parents are either overindulgent or inattentive. Children who experience this type of child rearing are more likely to be anxious, unhappy, and low in self-esteem and self-reliance, and they tend to react with hostility when frustrated and to use force to get their way.                                                                                                  Children of these parents are often overly demanding and dependent on adults, impulsive, disobedient, and rebellious. Although some parents genuinely believe in this approach, many others simply lack confidence in their ability to influence their child’s behavior.                                                         These parents engage in both unwarranted direct control and psychological control, in which they intrude on and manipulate children’s verbal expression, individuality, and attachments to parents.
