Parenting styles
A parenting style is a pattern of behaviors, attitudes, and approaches that a parent uses when interacting with and raising their child.

Parenting styles are distinct from specific parenting practices, since they represent broader patterns of practices and attitudes that create an emotional climate for the child.
