My unorthodox parenting styles

“Authoritative
This is generally regarded to be the best parenting style as it provides a balance between structure and independence, allowing a child to grow within reasonable boundaries and explore their abilities. Parents using this style will set strict standard which they expect their children to abide but also support them by providing an emotionally caring environment that fosters trust. This style can be described as “tough but fair” or “firm but nurturing.” A child has room to make mistakes and the freedom to make them without judgement within a structure that provides guidance. Baumrind described authoritative parents like this:

They are assertive, but not intrusive and restrictive. Their disciplinary methods are supportive, rather than punitive. They want their children to be assertive as well as socially responsible and self-regulated as well as cooperative.

This style can help children:

Gain self-assurance
Handle responsibility
Figure out how to overcome difficulties
Become confident in their own judgement.” -https://jessup.edu/blog/academic-success/the-psychology-behind-different-types-of-parenting-styles/. All of the above is precisely how I rear children.
