"Instead of one continuum, there are two. In the upper right-hand quadrant are parents who are both demanding and supportive. The technical term is “authoritative parenting,” which, unfortunately, is easily confused with “authoritarian parenting.” To avoid such confusion, **I’ll refer to authoritative parenting as wise parenting, because parents in this quadrant are accurate judges of the psychological needs of their children. They appreciate that children need love, limits, and latitude to reach their full potential. Their authority is based on knowledge and wisdom, rather than power**." --- **Tags** -- [[quotes]], [[wise-parenting]], [[demanding-parenting]], [[adversity]], [[parenting]] **Source** -- [[20241030 - B - Grit]]
