Imagine your 16-year-old daughter wants to attend a friday night high school party, and you do not know who will be attending. using three parenting styles discussed in the lesson, how would an authoritative parent respond? a democratic parent? a permissive parent?

In the given scenario above, the authoritative parent would likely respond to their daughter in a way that they won't allow her to go to the party because they would likely focus on the thought of not knowing who will be there at the party for an authoritative parent has high expectations to their children that they don't want them to be involved in any sort of trouble. The democratic parent in the other would likely decide they will allow their daughter to go to the party considering the fact that they don't know who will be there. They will likely discuss the situation to their daughter and think if it is right to allow her or not. Lastly, a permissive parent would likely not care and would just allow their daughter to attend the party. It is because this parenting style has low guidance and gives only few rules, they are likely to be treated to be a friend than a parent.
