Authoritative parenting combines a fair degree of parental control with being warm and responsive to children. This style is said to be the right balance of both factors. Parents that are authoritative set clear standards but are forgiving and nurturing when the children break rules or make mistakes. Their discipline is supportive rather than harsh punishment. Children with these parents have lively and happy disposition, are self-confident, have well developed emotion, they have better mental health with less signs of depression and anxiety, they have developed social skills, and are less rigid about gender stereotypical traits.
The third parenting style is permissive parenting. Permissive parenting offers warmth and caring but little parental control. Parents like this will not act responsible for shaping their child's ongoing or future behavior. There will be low expectations and little to no discipline when children make mistakes. They avoids the exercise of control, and they not encourage children to obey defined standards of society. Research show that children with these parents often are immature, dependent, and have low self control, they often struggle academically, and make poor life

What are the limitations of Baumrind’s description of parenting styles? Baumrind didn’t consider socioeconomic, cultural, or temperamental distinctions, didn’t focus on the parent’s actions, didn’t acknowledge that some authoritarian parents are also loving, and did not recognize that some permissive and lenient parents provide a great amount of verbal guidance to their children.

I talk to my child frequently about empathy and manners. She has chores each morning and evening, and I ferociously police the number of toys in our house” (par. 9).

    Discipline is as vital for healthy child development as nutritious food, physical and cognitive exercises, love, and other basic needs. Without discipline, children lack the tools necessary to navigate relationships and challenges in life, such as self-discipline, respect for others, and the ability to cooperate with peers.

Disciplining your child, but when done correctly, is not about trying to control your child, but about showing them how to control their own behavior.
