Parenting styles can be described as a combination of

A) involvement and restraint.
B) responsiveness and demandingness.
C) rules and affection.
D) oversight and involvement.

Parenting styles are typically described as combinations of two traits: responsiveness and demandingness. Responsiveness refers to how much warmth, support, and acceptance a parent shows towards their child, while demandingness refers to how much control, structure, and rules a parent imposes on their child. Each parenting style can be seen as a unique combination of these traits. For example, authoritative parenting is high in both responsiveness and demandingness, while permissive parenting is high in responsiveness but low in demandingness. So, option B best describes parenting styles.
