What is a key outcome for children of permissive parents?

High levels of social competence
Problems with authority
Strong self-discipline
High academic achievement

The correct answer is: Problems with authority

Children of permissive parents often exhibit problems with authority due to the lack of consistent boundaries and structure in their upbringing. Permissive parenting, characterized by a high level of warmth but low level of control and demand, allows children significant freedom and minimal supervision. This parenting style tends to result in children not learning to respect authority figures or develop appropriate coping mechanisms for dealing with limits and expectations. As a result, these children may struggle to adapt to social norms and expectations in various settings, including school and extracurricular activities, where authority and structure are more prevalent. Their upbringing can lead to difficulties in accepting rules and an inclination to challenge limits set by others, which can manifest as rebellious behavior or defiance.
