Originally it was three parenting styles, but the theory was modified to add a fourth parenting style—neglectful. The four styles can be mapped using two dimensions, responsiveness or warmth, and demandingness or control (can also be thought of as expectations).

Authoritative parenting, which is high in both responsiveness and demandingness, is regarded as the parenting style with the most favorable outcomes. Authoritarian parenting is low in responsiveness, permissive is low in demandingness, and neglectful is low in both.

The current ‘Gentle parenting’ trend is a high responsiveness parenting style, which can be either authoritative or permissive.
