Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cedro and Margaret's parenting style is authoritative. This is because authoritative parents have rules and expectations, but they also listen to their child's perspective before deciding on a consequence, which is what Cedro and Margaret do. Permissive parents would not have clear rules and consequences, while authoritarian parents would not be as open to listening to their child's perspective. Neglecting parents are not involved in their child's life at all.
