Authoritative parenting is characterized by a balance of high expectations and nurturing, fostering responsible and confident children. Clinical psychologist Sheryl Ziegler emphasizes the long-standing definitions of these styles and their impact on child development. Examples of authoritative parents from popular television illustrate the style's effectiveness in promoting accountability and fostering a positive parent-child relationship. Overall, authoritative parenting is lauded for its ability to encourage healthy development in children.

"Authoritative parents have a high demand of their children and high responsiveness, showing warmth and affection."
"In academia, there are four different styles of parenting - authoritative, authoritarian, permissive and uninvolved - and they've all stood the test of time."
