The people next door emphasize obedience through the enforcement of their guidelines and the use of punishment. for example, when their 14-year-old was five minutes late returning from a basketball game last weekend, they immediately grounded the youngster for two weeks. what style of parenting has been described?

   Authoritarian parenting

Explanation:  This is the type of parenting where high demands are placed on children and adolescents. The reason for this is the high expectations of their children, so the disciplinary measures are very strict with harsh penalties if these measures are violated, i.e if they are five minutes late, as in this case. In addition to high expectations and harsh penalties, this type of parenting implies a poor response to children's queries. Although this type of parenting is characteristic when much is expected of children, according to research, children with this type of parenting tend to show negative effects, such as low self-esteem and poor social skills.
