The Parent Effect strives to respond to an unmet need in the field of parenting, adolescence, and psychological information. This book identifies five parenting styles in a creative and contemporary manner:
* ''My House, My Rules Parents'' (Controlling),
* ''Cool Parents'' (Permissive),
* ''Your Life Is My Life Parents'' (Enmeshed),
* ''Not Now, I'm Busy Parents'' (Neglectful), and
* ''Easygoing Parents'' (Balanced).
Events and circumstances in adults' lives can significantly affect their parenting ability and the quality of their relationship with their teenager. Parenting styles are usually a combination of three forces: the parents' own upbringing, what they have learned from outside sources, and their own personal needs and characteristics.
