Permissive parenting, also known as indulgent or lax parenting, is characterized by low demands and high responsiveness. Permissive parents often fail to establish clear rules, boundaries, and expectations for their children. They may be overly generous with material possessions or provide excessive privileges to their children. While its natural to want to provide for your child, excessive indulgence can lead to entitlement and a lack of appreciation for the value of things. By shielding the children from consequences, these parents may hinder their development of responsibility, resilience, and problem-solving skills.
