The Albertsons are authoritative parents as they establish rules, explain the reasons behind them, and invite their children to join in the discussion. They are not authoritarian parents as they do not enforce rules without explanation, nor are they permissive parents as they do set rules for their children. Legalistic parenting refers to a style in which parents enforce rules strictly without explanation, which does not apply to the Albertsons.
