Authoritative Vs Authoritarian And Permissive Parenting Styles, Parenting Styles Options

Good day to you all,

Forgive this letter in a magickal forum, but since this is a topic of general psychology, and it pertains to most all parents, I have decided to post it here since I am having some trouble finding the good in authoritarian and permissive parenting styles (research Diana Baumrind for more information). Since I belong to a debate team and am attempting to formulate a thesis in the Thomistic Method (St. Thomas Aquinas' method for how a thesis should be written) I need some good objections to the authoritative style of parenting (in other words, I need some good arguments that uphold authoritarian and permissive parenting styles).

Just to make it clear once more, I am defending the position that an authoritative parenting style is best for a child during upbringing. The only problem, as mentioned, is that I need to find objections to this and try to find coherent and reasonable reasons for upholding authoritarian and permissive parenting styles. What do you think about the matter? Why would it be best to raise children in an authoritarian and or a permissive way? I have tried researching, but almost everyone tends to agree with Baumrind. Any insights or thoughts? Your help would be most appreciated.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curi

Like most issues it has been my experience that moderation between dualisms brings the most balanced results. The way I help my mom raise my two baby sisters is by being both authorative and permissive. They look up to me not as a bossy big brother, but someone who will allow them to do things, but still respect my authority. Its nesseccary children learn self-control and positive habbits. They know that by doing basic things - homework, chores, clean up their toys when they are done with them and so, I am more likely to allow them to do other things. Like go to a friend's house or play outside or play video games and so on. They now the price of consequence as well. They can be stuburn and do their own thing but they know that in the long run its more to their interest to do what they are told.
