1. Authoritarian Parenting
Authoritarian parenting is strict, highly controlling, and focused on obedience. Children raised in this environment often fear punishment rather than understand consequences. This style discourages open communication and suppresses emotional expression, which can lead to anxiety, low self-esteem, and rebellious behavior in adolescence.
To improve, parents can begin by incorporating empathy, encouraging discussion, and allowing age-appropriate independence while still maintaining necessary boundaries.
