Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the Parenting Style assessment
Based on Diana Baumrind's seminal research, this quiz identifies six parenting styles: Lighthouse (authoritative ideal), Captain (structured but loving), Friend (permissive), Ghost (uninvolved), Helicopter (over-involved), and Free-Range (independence-focused).
Research consistently shows authoritative parenting (our 'Lighthouse' style)—high warmth combined with clear boundaries—produces the best outcomes. However, different children may need different approaches. The goal is awareness and flexibility.
Yes! Parenting styles aren't fixed. Many parents unconsciously replicate how they were raised. By becoming aware of your patterns, you can intentionally shift toward approaches that better serve your unique child.
Different styles between parents can actually benefit children by exposing them to varied approaches. The key is alignment on core values and not undermining each other. Understanding both your styles helps you parent as a team.
