Another commonly known parenting style is called authoritative, dubbed ‘Authoritative Dolphin’ in the world of parenting for child development. Similar to the body of a dolphin, these parents are firm yet flexible in nature. And while they do set certain rules and consequences for their children, they also allow them to express their personal opinions on selected subject matters.
And while parents in this category are still somewhat authoritative, they do inspire understanding and learning through discussion, reasoning and role-modeling.
