A clarification point, because I had to double check this multiple times: they use two words (authoritative and authoritarian) frequently, and while they look nearly identical, they are completely different.
In one, you act more of a “resource”, a trusted resource to ask questions, give guidance. In the other, you are the “boss” and you have to listen to what they say exactly, and are punished if you don’t.
It isn’t surprising which method gives “more tools” to the child.
However, I think it would have helped readability if they chose different wording, just due to the visual similarity between the words. Perhaps it’s the difference between a coach vs a dictator?
Anyway, wanted to clear up the words for any folks that were unclear, it is worth paying extra attention to the exact spelling on this one.
Edit: had to fix spelling, as it “corrected” me as well =p
