Permissive parenting is characterized by a high level of warmth and affection but a low level of discipline and control. This parenting style can impact children in several ways:
- Lack of Boundaries: Children may struggle with limits and have difficulty understanding the consequences of their actions.
- Entitlement: They might develop a sense of entitlement, expecting to get what they want without having to work for it.
- Emotional Regulation: Kids may find it challenging to manage emotions and behaviors effectively, leading to issues with impulse control.
- Difficulty with Authority: They may have trouble accepting authority figures and following rules in other settings, like school.
