When Holly is asked to describe her philosophy on parenting,she says,"It's my way or the highway!" This reaction would indicate that Holly is a(n) _________ parent.

A) authoritative
B) authoritarian
C) permissive-neglectful
D) permissive-indulgent

Holly's response demonstrates an authoritarian parenting style, where the parent is strict and controlling with their children, and their word is law. They expect obedience without question and often use punishment as a means of discipline. This is different from an authoritative parenting style, where the parent is firm but also responsive and encourages independence and open communication with their children. Permissive-neglectful and permissive-indulgent styles are both more permissive and less strict, with varying levels of responsiveness.
