Explanation:

There are 4 different styles of parenting:

Both Authoritative and authoritarian styles of parenting focus on authority, this means that they set rules and expect their children to follow the rules.

However, the authoritarian parenting is a cold style of parenting which doesn't allow for questions from the kids ("because I say so") so there is a one directional style of communication. These parents focus on punishing the wrong behavior and they believe in total control and lack of independence from their children.

Authoritative parents are nurturing so they are warmer than the Authoritarian parents, they allow children to ask why so they explain limits by reasoning with their kids, they also focus on teaching the right behaviors rather than punishing the wrong ones and when there are wrong behaviors they focus on consequences rather than on punishments.

Permissive/Indulgent parents think "kids will be kids" so they tend to be very forgiving when it comes to rules and they don't usually set consequences, but, when they do, they don't really stick to them.

Uninvolved/neglectful parents are cold and distant but also they don't expect much from their children so, basically, their children lack attention, and we can say they are neglected.

In this example, Trey wants to play basketball in a local league. He and his mom discuss what grades he will have to maintain to play on the team and agree on the consequences if Trey doesn't maintain his grades. We can see that Trey's mom sets rules and expects him to follow them. However, she also dialogues with him about these rules and they both agree on consequences. Thus, since she is open to dialogue and to talk and discuss rules with her son, we can say that she is most likely an authoritative parent.
