Since the 1960s, psychologists have used four types of parenting styles to describe how most parents raise their children. Those four parenting styles—permissive, authoritative, authoritarian, and neglectful—exist on a spectrum of more or less demanding to the parent, and less or more responsive to the child.
Since parenting techniques change across generations, however, parenting communities and experts have coined dozens of new terms for different parenting techniques that have become popular over the years. To find out which parenting style most closely matches your own, take our quiz!
