Annelle's usual bedtime is 8: 30 p. m., and her parents enforce this rule. one evening, annelle is watching an educational program that ends at 9 p. m. she asks her parents if she can stay up to watch the end of the show. her parents agree to let her stay up as long as she gets up in time for school in the morning. which parenting style are annelle's parents demonstrating

Inconsistent. If they allowed her to stay up past her usual bedtime hour they demonstrated that the rule didn't really hold any meaning and can be bent. If they keep that up she will have no solid rule to follow and it's damaging especially if it was okay to do it one time, and then be punished for doing it the next time. It could be labeled abusive in some standards psychologically.

They could have a rerun of the show so that when she obeys her parents they could reward her with letting her watch it online before her bedtime.
