Question

When Dustin asked his mother if he could spend the night at a friend's house on a Thursday night, his mother told him, "No, because that's a school night and you'd be tired at school the next day. Would you like to ask your friend to spend the night at our house on Friday?

Answer 1

Authoritative approach

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that Dustin's mum never asked to know the reasons why Dustin wanted to spend thursday night in a friends place rather her response was an emphatic no with no room for Dustin's opinion. This a typical example of authoritative parenting style. Authoritative parents are always keen on enforcing limits and often have very high academic expectations from their children.
