I think it depends on the parents, the child and the situation  |

To tell you the truth, what I've found is ALL OF IT should be used. Some instances call for everything you've listed here...jbdoe  |

I think parents need to listen to their kids but never let them feel like they are in charge but that they are respected (at least for older kids) but my mom's favorite saying is "This household is not a democracy" ~E-cutie86  |

I think that parents (like my own) should have a democratic paernting style. The kids need to learn to make their own mistakes and take car of themselves. Parents cannot just control and have absolute power over their children. They need to listen to each other and be willing to compromise  |

Love can be in any style...LOL, but it doesn't necissarily work for all kids. It's how the love is shown that can be a prob.  |

i'm 16 and personally if givin a choice i'd have to choose democratic. i know i complain about what my parents say i can and can not do but when i think about it if i was allowed to do whatever i'd probably be dead. of course i'll never admit that to my parents.  -decifer  |

Hmm.. I dunno. I just say the best parenting style shouldn't have any emotional/physical abuse. Some parents just don't understand. |

I believe a bit of each. You've got to set rules so your kids will learn of consequences. In the real world, you can't just run around and do whatever you please...not having a job, doing drugs, hanging out on the street corner. YOu can't give a kid too much freedom cause he will abuse it. I also believe children and parents need to respect each other. But I also don't believe in too much restriction cause the kid is going to do whatever he pleases anyway one way or another. I don't want to raise a dummy but However, I do believe in teaching responsibility, reliability, honesty, hard work, and being kind to people, and to keep your promises. I won't let my kids be in any way disrespectful to anyone but I also won't raise docile kids who can't think for themselves. I feel it depends on the kid too. Some kids are more mature than others and can think for themselves so there's less discipline involved.  |
