I know this is the prep school forum, but interesting discussion. I think it would be interesting to see every parent on CC take the quiz from the article. I’m guessing we’d get a lot of authoritarian and authoritative styles. As an aside, the parent who refuses to drive their kid anywhere is super annoying. Because I was the parent always giving that kid a ride when they had to mooch one. Understandable if parents trade responsibility or it evens out over time or it is an emergency. Otherwise, not cool.
