Children who go through an uninvolved parenting style are the least likely to fit society’s norms, while kids who go through an authoritative parenting style are more likely to fit society’s norms (Textbook, 427).

For example, in To Kill a Mockingbird, there are many parents with different parenting styles, all whom reflect on their children.
