Parenting styles: demandingness dimension: parental demandingness (behavioural control), the claims parents make on children to become integrated into the family whole, by their maturity demands, supervision, disciplinary efforts and willingness to confront the child who disobeys.

Indulgent/permissive parents: more responsive than demanding, do not require mature behaviour, avoid confrontation.

Overprotective parents: children may acquiesce or resist.
