In a nutshell, I think authoritarian parenting makes anxious and fearful children and permissive makes for bratty kids.

There should be a balance. A lack or too much of both sides are not good. Being a good role model, and guiding a child is an every day job that requires a lots of love, patience, energy, dedication and knowledge. A child development is influenced by the way his parents are involved in their lives.

I believe I read that genetics influence 30-50% of a child’s development, the rest is a mix between cultural, parents and peer influence.

I like Lizzie’s answer..but I’d also have to note that from personal experience its what you got inside of your own spirit (really ahrd to explain) but its the same thing that makes some people break down and others just survive. Might be genetics or might be that certain people just got something in them. But I would say I am not an authoritative parent, but also not permissive, I treat my child with respect and I talk to him about things that are going on so he stays informed and he is so bright and smart for me doing that with him. I love him so much! If he needs a ass-kicking I will give him one (don’t get me worng), but mostly he never does because he’s my super cool little guy! I’m so proud of him!
