it is not really parenting at all. It is really about self-esteem: the child's self-esteem is supposedly boosted by allowing him freedom, and the parent's self-esteem is boosted by the fact that the child likes him.


One advantage is that your kids will like you. You can be buddies with your children. They may even call you ';cool.';


Also, permissive parenting is easier than authoritative parenting. At least at first. It is easier to just let your children do what they want than to make them obey.


Another advantage to permissive parenting is that some children may become independent. Lacking in parental leadership, some children may take the initiative and do things on their own. This develops independence.





Warning: Your children may lose respect for you. Sure, they might be your friend at first, but eventually they will wonder why you didn't set boundaries for them. They will especially lose respect for the father, viewing him as weak.What would be the pros of the permissive parenting style?
Pros of permissive parenting style:


-it is very easy, so you can be lazy and pretty much just think of yourself.





-you do not worry about your children as much because, quite frankly, you do not care as much.





-you do not have many responsibilities.
I can't really think of any benefits to this ';parenting'; style. The world is full of consequences for our actions, and we don't always get our way. People who allow their children to do whatever they want without consequence and without saying no just for the sake of their feelings isn't doing their children any favors. Someday, they'll be grownups and society will demand that they follow the same rules as everyone else. Teach them that NOW.
Someone needs a homework answer :p
