Question

Which of the following is characteristic of the permissive-indulgent parenting style? very loving and involved in the child’s life failure to set meaningful limits or controls for the child spoils the child all of the above

Answer 1

I've worked in Daycares and dealt with all types of parents. This permissive or indulgent parenting is not an easy one to over come, not really for the paremts, it creates long lasting hardships and mental barriers for the child. It's charaterized by high responsiveness to the child's emotional state, and low demanding ability in terms of setting boundaries and rules. Often times they don't follow through and sometimes won't even suggest the idea of a limitation on their kids activities.
