Children whose parents are paragons of parenting virtue: The Authoritative parents. Of course, no definition of "Authoritative (not to be confused with authoritarian) parenting" is adequately given.
Here is the definition of Authoritative parent:
"having high expectations for self control but respectful of a child's opinions and who set clear boundaries."
So, there you go. Now, you know.
Probably my favorite blog of your EVER! I even reposted it on mine.
