Authoritative high expectations, lots of support: children are well adjusted, socially competent, high self-esteem, achievement oriented. Rejecting/neglecting low expectation, little support: negative mental representations of their interactions with their parents, parents did not teach them regarding social interactions, cognitively insufficient: they will have low expectations, no motivation. Cog: parents don"t take time out to tell children about world scaffolding teaching them about complex aspects through lowering their level so they can understand.

Issues: parents won"t be acting naturally, the types of parents that will participate are not those whose kids are being raised by child services.
