Four types of parenting:
Authoritarian: This style of parenting is associated with the militaristic type of environment. Very strict and unyielding. It's your way or the highway. 
Authoritative: This style is more about a cooperative way of parenting. The child plays an active role in their own discipline and parents show a good balance of love and discipline.
Permissive: These parents find it easier to give in to the child's will than cause any problems. The child is aloud to dictate what is done in the family unit.
Uninvolved/Neglectful: I would hope we would all agree that this is NOT a form of parenting. That is why is is not listed a lot of times when you look up "types of parenting" but I thought it was important to mention because unfortunately I have witnesses this "type" of parenting.
Life is not black and white, so take this as it is; a scale. We all want to have balance.
