Optimal development during adolescence appears to be facilitated by the authoritative style of parenting.
Explanation:
Out of the four major styles of parenting, most researchers believe the authoritative style of parenting to be best for both the parents and the children.
In this style of parenting, the parents promptly respond to the child's mental and physical needs and put restrictions on the utility of what is not good for the child. This teaches the child at an early age about which kind of behaviour is considered as good.
