Answer 1

Answer: Authoritarian parent

Explanation:

An authoritarian parent is known to be a type of parent who demands that all his rules must be obeyed and observed by his child (ren). Failure to obey the rules often leads to punishment which might inflict pain or damage on the child’s body. Parents who practice this style of parenting do not give room for open discussion with their children but instead expect total obedience to the rules they make. Thus, an authoritarian parent does not care about his or her children’s emotional needs.
