Anti-authoritarian parenting style and socionics types

[tcaudilllg]

Extremist positivists are always authoritarian: they go to extremes to see their child behave they way they want them to behave.

Extreme negativists are always permissive: they feel they cannot (or should not) control their children.

Authoritative is the goal; however there are multiple perspectives on permissive parenting.

So it's mostly an issue with a political basis.

Of course Ts will be a little stricter and colder than Fs. (although the coldness is not in itself acceptable... duality is important here and the T has a responsibility to seek it).

Authoritarian towards big-picture and long-term issues, not towards small things. Avoid micromanagement, but assert your superior wisdom towards the situation so it doesn't go to waste.

Yeah, well I'm skeptical of authoritarian parenting styles. From my experience it leads to broken families and the child deserting/(being deserted from) the parent(s) at the first chance they get.

There's only so much pressure you can put on someone to be a particular way/thing before they realize the parent always thinks making them miserable is justified.

But I could be thinking of worst-case beneficiary/benefactor relations in socionics, where the beneficiary is doesn't find the benefactor to be helping.

Hmm... you may be on to something.

Lab, I agree that authoritarian is big picture.
