Parenting Styles and Autonomy

Today as we explore autonomy, Dr. Jen shares a few insights into the environment that you’re creating with your parenting style. Most of us tend to parent somewhere between autonomy-supportive and a more controlled environment.

How does your child feel disclosing things happening in their life to you? Your parenting style is likely to influence their feelings and experience of this sharing.

Dr. Jen speaks to how you can indicate to your kids that you support their decisions in life and what influence this has on their wellbeing.
