As parents and caregivers, although we tend to favor one parenting style overall, in reality, we float between the four parenting styles.
Your answers show that you may prefer a Hands-Off Parenting Style
You tend to be less involved, allowing your child to be independent without much guidance or support. While this style can communicate a belief in your child’s ability to take care of themself, a lack of parental involvement and emotional support can lead to low self-esteem, difficulty forming healthy relationships, and increased risk of behavioral and academic problems. Our free course (see below) shares easy and effective parenting and caregiving strategies that lead to high self-esteem, healthy relationships, and success.

Whether you're a parent, grandparent, caregiver, educator, healthcare worker, or legal professional, you can be on the path to better communication with the kids in your life in just about an hour.
