Not only this, but this style has also been recommended for teachers to adopt in the classroom as their preferred classroom management style (Bassett and Synder 2013). Baumrind's third parenting style, permissive, can be divided into two categories. The first of the two is permissive-indulgent. This is where the parent does not discipline the child and responds to his every call. There is not much demand or expectation from the parents, but there is a high response to the child's needs and requests. As mentioned in the class discussion and lesson, this type of parenting generally leads to the most undesirable child, the one who is spoiled and throws a tantrum whenever that need is not met or satisfied. The second of the two is the permissive-indifferent parent. This particular parent doesn't really care what their children do. This parent may not even be actively involved in their children's lives, thus ignoring them. In this case, it's what's easiest for the parent. Often, the child's needs and requests are ignored and neglected and can lead to behavioral problems when the child tries to seek attention elsewhere. This type of parenting consists of low demands and low responsiveness on the part of the child
