Name a Con about Authoritative parenting.
- This parenting style takes time, effort and patience from both the parents and teenagers; it could be emotionally draining
- It could lead to conflict as those open communications can turn into disagreements
- Teenagers could develop perfectionism due to fear of failure and not wanting to disappoint their parents. This might lead to unneeded stress and self-imposed pressure
Name a Pro about Permissive parenting.

- Gives teenagers a sense of creative freedom and makes them a more diverse thinker
- Helps with autonomy support; gives parents encourage their child to explore their independence and self-expression
Name a Pro and a Con about Uninvolved parenting.
Pro: NONE
Con:
- Mental health concerns can arise. Some things like PTSD, depression or anxiety are common as these children have had to ‘fend for themselves’ their whole lives with no parental form
- Teenagers may find it hard to build relationships as they never had a long-term parent one. They might find it hard to trust someone or build an emotional connection
- Teenagers might also engage in risky behaviors just to seek attention or validation
