Every child is expected to grow up with a family and be raised by his/her parents.

These are: authoritarian parenting, authoritative parenting, permissive parenting, and uninvolved parenting. Which one is best? it all depends on the parents perspective on life.

Rules and following them are the most important things to an authoritarian parent. In this style parents raise their child to follow every instruction they give them and to obey every rule imposed. Failure to obey and follow these results in punishments. Authoritarian parents fail to explain the reasoning behind rules and when kids ask questions instead of explaining and actually answering the question they normally respond with “because i say so”, meaning they are not responsive to their children, even though they have high demands for them.
