Permissive Parenting: Effects and Breaking the Cycle
Briefly

Permissive parenting is characterized by parents who prioritize their children's emotional needs at the expense of their own. While it may appear caring and accommodating, this approach can lead to a lack of boundaries, as parents often struggle to assert their own preferences. Without recognizing their own needs, parents can build resentment and diminish their well-being, resulting in negative impacts on their child's development. This style can manifest in various parenting situations, such as bedtime negotiations, meal preparation, and excessive screen time, showcasing the challenges and potential pitfalls of being overly permissive.
Permissive parenting often leads parents to respond to their children's demands constantly, sacrificing their own needs which can adversely affect children's long-term development.
Diana described permissive parenting as 'trying to always meet everybody's needs,' but this approach can leave parents feeling drained and unfulfilled.
