[21]dismissive of”positive parent`”

I tend to dismiss the positive style — supportive, encouraging, bonding, lenient, forgiving, rewarding, trusting (each person’s words), believing in each individual

I tend to subscribe to the narratives of the other style — control (to the maximum extent), ownership, discipline, self-discipline, consequences, targets (like salesmen)

Aha — Many of the above keywords are also important to the encouraging style.
