Why do parents choose authoritarian parenting?
Children must feel empowered and able to make their own decisions in order to grow into responsible adults. Children who are not allowed make their own decisions often feel helpless, and inability to deal with everyday life. As a result, they may become anxious or depressed.
Authoritarian parenting styles tend to create an environment where children feel controlled and powerless. This leads to feelings of loneliness and inadequacy. It limits their ability to learn how to cope with problems and challenges.
The most effective way to raise happy, confident, and resilient children is by allowing them to experience success and failure without fear. Authoritative parenting encourages children to take responsibility for themselves and their actions.

Different stages of development require different levels of discipline from children.
