Explanation:

There are 4 different styles of parenting:

Both Authoritative and authoritarian styles of parenting focus on authority, this means that they set rules and expect their children to follow the rules.

However, the authoritarian parenting is a cold style of parenting which doesn't allow for questions from the kids ("because I say so") so there is a one directional style of communication. These parents focus on punishing the wrong behavior and they believe in total control and lack of independence from their children. Their kids tend to have low self-esteem and be passive to new experiences.

Authoritative parents are nurturing so they are warmer than the Authoritarian parents, they allow children to ask why so they explain limits by reasoning with their kids, they also focus on teaching the right behaviors rather than punishing the wrong ones and when there are wrong behaviors they focus on consequences rather than on punishments. Their kids tend to be confident enough to experience new activities by themselves.

Permissive/Indulgent parents think "kids will be kids" so they tend to be very forgiving when it comes to rules and they don't usually set consequences, but, when they do, they don't really stick to them.

Uninvolved/neglectful parents are cold and distant but also they don't expect much from their children so, basically, their children lack attention, and we can say they are neglected.

In this example, Decha is passive and indifferent to new experiences and shows little intellectual curiosity and low-esteem. These are characteristics of children who have authoritarian parents.
