Answer to Question 1

Answers will vary but should make some mention of the bullet points in the textbook:
Baumrind's participants were similar in SES; she focused more on parental attitudes
than behavior, overlooked the child's contribution to the relationship, and did not take
into account that some authoritarian parents are very affectionate.

Answer to Question 2

Both styles involve the parent not using physical punishment, but
neglectful/uninvolved parents tend not to care what their children are doing.
Permissive parents are very involved in their children's life.
