Permissive parents ______.

A) are most likely to use power-assertive techniques when dealing with aggressive behavior.
B) have strict guidelines for right and wrong and demand that their children accept them without question.
C) tend to impose rules and to watch their children closely.
D) allow their children to show some aggression, intervening only when another child is in danger.

Permissive parents are known for their lenient approach, often allowing their children considerable freedom and intervening minimally. They are more likely to step in only when necessary, such as when another child's safety is at risk, rather than imposing strict rules or closely monitoring their children's behavior. This approach contrasts with power-assertive techniques, strict guidelines, and close supervision associated with other parenting styles.
