Authoritarian Parenting

The authoritarian parenting style is characterized by a high value placed on conformity and obedience. Parents adopting this style are typically strict, closely monitor their children, and express minimal warmth. They enforce rigid rules with an expectation of obedience, showing little flexibility, in contrast to the authoritative style. This approach can result in children who are anxious, withdrawn, and unhappy.
