There are a lot of theories parents can apply to raising their children. They all work in different ways, but have the same goal - to support a child to become the best possible version of themselves.

Similarly, authoritative parenting is usually mistaken with the old-school authoritarian parenting. There's also newer kids on the block, like the plastic wrap parent, who feels the constant need to protect their child from harm.
