This parenting style is primarily concerned with not being too overbearing; let the child make many of his own choices. The parent wants them to grow on their own, with nothing holding them back. It mainly focuses on the child's freedom and how much they allow him to manage on his own. Most of the time they let the child make choices he is not suited to make, learning the wrong lessons. This style gives children a lot of freedom and encourages them to make decisions for themselves and not conform to society. The parent allows the child to make almost all decisions on his own, giving little direction and expecting him to create his own rules and paths.
