The Laissez-Faire Parent

- Offers comfort but little guidance on behaviour, to the child experiencing negative feelings.
- Does not teach the child about emotions.
- Is permissive; does not set limits.
- Does not help or teach the child to problem-solve.
- Believes there is little you can do about negative emotions other than ride them out.
- Believes that managing negative emotions is a matter of hydraulics; realise the emotion and the work is done.
