Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Permissive parents, also known as passive parents, set very few parental rules and boundaries, and they are reluctant to enforce rules. These indulgent parents are warm and indulgent, but they do not like to say no or disappoint their children.

Detailed explanation-2: -The four main parenting styles-permissive, authoritative, neglectful and authoritarian-used in child psychology today are based on the work of Diana Baumrind, a developmental psychologist, and Stanford researchers Eleanor Maccoby and John Martin.

Detailed explanation-3: -Uninvolved parenting style (Neglectful parenting) Uninvolved parents have low demandingness and low responsiveness. Uninvolved parents are very different from authoritative parents. Neglectful parents are cold and unresponsive, and they do not pay attention to their children’s well-being.
