✔︎ Permissive or Indulgent parents mostly let their children do what they want, and offer limited guidance or direction.
✔︎ Their discipline style is the opposite of strict. They have limited or NO RULES, and mostly let children live life on their own terms.
✔︎ For some passive parents, communication with their kid is open; but these parents let children decide for themselves rather than giving boundaries, discipline, morals or wise direction.
✔︎ Parents in this category can be warm and nurturing. They can be known as people-pleasers or conflict avoiders.
✔︎ Expectations are typically minimal or not set by these parents.
✔︎ Some passive parents have never tried to establish boundaries, discipline, healthy routines, screen limits, expectations around school performance, healthy food choices.
✔︎ May make excuses for their children.
"She was bullied."
"My ex is a narcissist."
"All of their friends are online."
"He has ADHD."
"She has no friends in real life."
"He has depression."
✔︎ Some of these parents prefer to be their child's friend and not their parent.
✔︎ Many passive parents have tried to enable boundaries, healthy choices, respect and positive discipline but a variety of reasons have not been successful.
