Authoritarian parents
Pros
Children obey parents; do their best at studying and extracurricular activities. They keep the room tidy and do not cause any trouble. After graduating, they achieve success at work and become professionals.
Cons
There is no understanding between parents and children. Kids do what they are made to do because they want to escape the punishment. There are no trust-based relationships between the members of the family. Being always under pressure, children may become frustrated, have low self-regard, and poor communication skills (Krause & Dailey, 2009). They become bullies and act aggressively in the future.
Permissive parents
Pros
Children are free to show their individuality and can find a common language with others. They also feel confident, as parents always encourage them.
Cons
Even though they often interact with parents, children tend to feel lonely. They do not study hard, as it is not demanded at all. They are rarely independent and neglect authority. Usually, children are selfish. They are afraid of responsibility (Jabeen, Anis-ul-Haque, & Riaz, 2013).
Authoritative parents
Pros
As parents support children, they become independent and strong-willed. Due to the interaction with family, kids can easily interact with others. They feel confident and have a positive view of life. In the future, they achieve success in studying and work, as parents explained their importance.
Cons
It may be hard for adults to keep to this type of parenting all the time as they need to modify the rules and explain everything calmly, but for children, it is the best one.
Uninvolved parents
Pros
Children can express themselves and are not afraid of punishment.
Cons
They lack communication with family, feel lonely and angry. Kids do not accept authority and have poor academic achievements. They are likely to become dregs of society (Kamphaus & Frick, 2005).
