Authoritative- Mike and Carol Brady (“The Brady Bunch,” 1969-1974): These parents demonstrate a give-and-take with their parenting style, allowing for a balanced household. They are warm and demand high standards from their children.
The parents in this show appear to be the family next-door, making their parenting style very realistic. The show tends to be nostalgic because of the type of ideal family it portrays.
Permissive- Mother of Regina (“Mean Girls”): The mother in this movie spoils her child, gives no consequences, is warm and accepting of her child and her friends, and makes few demands. She acts like a friend to Regina instead of a parental figure.
While this movie exaggerates the role of a permissive parent to make it funny, much of the mothers behavior is similar to that which occurs in a permissive household. It even leads to the consequences expected from this parenting style, including little self-control and engaging in risky behavior.
