The paper will talk about the permissive style of parenting as one of the parenting styles that prevails in modern society. There will be talk about the impact of a permissive upbringing on a child, its consequences and dominance. Parenting style is the attitude that parents have about parenting. It encompasses parental attitudes about what behaviors the parent will encourage, whether the child will be the center of attention, whether the child will be punished, and in what way. There are four types of parenting style. They are authoritarian, authoritative, neglectful and permissive. Authoritarian style is characterized as an extremely strict upbringing style in which there are a lot of expectations, rules, and too little warmth and support. On the other hand, there is a permissive style that is characterized by excessive provision of warmth and support, and too little supervision and discipline. Neglecting parenting style is characterized by the absence of both supervision and warmth. Authoritarian upbringing style is considered the best and it is characterized by providing great warmth and support, but also by setting boundaries and conducting supervision. Children today grow up in consumer families characterized by a focus only on a sense of comfort. Because of to the smaller number of children in the family, social expectations that parents should afford children everything, the overwork of parents and the hypersensitivity of parents to the short-term emotional suffering of their children, there is an epidemic of permissive upbringing today. Children raised in a permissive style have no self-control and are unable to postpone their own needs. Research shows that delinquents more often come from a family in which there are no controls and rules. A permissive upbringing is also associated with "helicopter parenting." "Helicopter parenting" means parents who are too protective of their adult children, control their lives and fulfill tasks instead of children in adulthood. The child and the parents are not on friendly terms. Setting boundaries is an expression of parental love. It is the responsibility of the parent to discipline the child. Discipline is an external boundary designed to develop internal boundaries in children. Discipline is not the same as punishing and provides security for the child.
