Authoritarian parenting is a parenting style in which parents are excessively directive and demanding. They often use physical punishment or verbal abuse to enforce rules and establish authority. The goal of authoritarian parenting is to create a well-behaved, obedient child who is confident in his or her own abilities.
Tough love, on the other hand, is a parenting style that relies on discipline and empathy. Parents use logical, consistent rules and limits to shape their children’s behavior. They also provide emotional support and encouragement, helping their children develop self-esteem and a sense of autonomy.
Overall, research shows that authoritarian parenting is more harmful than tough love.
Authoritarian parents tend to be more critical, punitive, and controlling. They also have a harder time providing their children with positive reinforcement and reinforcement of appropriate behavior. In contrast, tough-love parents are more supportive and nurturing. They are more likely to provide their children with positive reinforcement and reinforcement of appropriate behavior.
