Permissiivisessä

Permissiivisessä is a term used to describe a parenting style characterized by high responsiveness and low demandingness. Permissive parents tend to be warm, loving, and accepting of their children, and they rarely set limits or enforce rules. They often allow their children to make their own decisions and express themselves freely, believing that this approach fosters independence and self-reliance.

Children raised in permissive households may exhibit a range of behaviors. They might be more outgoing, creative, and have a stronger sense of self-esteem. However, they can also struggle with self-control, impulse management, and a lack of respect for authority. This can sometimes lead to difficulties in academic settings or social situations where structure and rules are necessary.

The permissive parenting style is often contrasted with other approaches, such as authoritarian (high demandingness, low responsiveness) or authoritative (high demandingness, high responsiveness). While permissive parenting emphasizes a child's freedom and autonomy, it may not adequately prepare them for the challenges and responsibilities of adulthood where boundaries and discipline are often required. The long-term effects can vary greatly depending on the child's individual temperament and other environmental factors.
