SPNN 1 1 The film previews are finished , and the movie theater is quiet as everyone waits for the feature film to begin . , the stillness is suddenly broken by a noise . The audience hears a sniffle . The sniffle soon turns to a cry , then a wail . There is an uncomfortable , or perhaps unhappy , toddler sitting in the movie theater . People start shuffling in their seats as they wait for what will happen next . Will the child be taken out of the theater , or will the parent pretend that everything is OK ? Scenarios like these happen regularly . The parents ? reaction depends on their parenting style . The two extremes are the lenient ( laissez - faire ) parent and the strict disciplinarian parent . 2 Lenient parents often focus on their child having fun and enjoying being a kid . If a child does something careless like break a glass , lenient parents will not become angry or scream . They know that the child is probably experimenting and meant no harm . Likewise , the parents may even explain to the child that it was an accident and the child should not be upset . , lenient parents may not be too concerned about following a schedule . They will allow their children to stay up late and experience new things . The motto " You ? re only a kid once ! " rings very true to these free spirits . These types of parents see themselves as guides for their children , which cannot be said about the second parenting group : the disciplinarians . 3 Disciplinarian parents consider themselves role models for their children . lenient parents , their main priorities are the safety and protection of their children . In essence , children are monitored very carefully and may not be allowed to play outside , interact with animals , or roughhouse in general . A child who experiences a strict upbringing may be encouraged to focus on his or her studies instead of making friends . , interaction may be limited to only close family members . Children who are raised in highly disciplined environments are typically very focused on their schoolwork . 4 In the end , no parents are truly 100 percent lenient or 100 percent strict when it comes to raising their child . most fall somewhere in the middle depending on the child , the environment , and the particular situation , parents clearly lean toward one or the other parenting style . Society knows that both child - rearing styles have advantages and disadvantages , but the more interesting question is this : Which style will these children choose when the time comes for them to become parents ?
