Johnathan makes excessive demands on his children and rarely listens to their points of view. Which parenting style is described?

Failure to follow such rules usually results in punishment. Authoritarian parents don’t explain the reasoning behind these rules.

If asked to explain, the parent might simply reply, “Because I said so.” While these parents have high demands, they are not very responsive to their children.

Demanding nature: Authoritarian parents place high demands on children. For example, they may expect children to excel in school, sports, the arts, and other areas, and lack patience if children fall short. Strict rules: These parents put strict rules in place and offer little wiggle room.
