Sharing the different parenting styles with parents, teachers, and policy makers is a difficult thing to do.  There is no right or wrong way in sharing the theory.  It all depends on the person in whom the theory gets shared with.  For example; if the theory is shared with neglectful parents, those parents may be offended.  Telling this theory to children is also a risk.  The children may think that it is okay to be disobedient because it is their parents parenting style.  I also believe we should introduce “snow plow” parenting and “helicopter” parenting.  Some parents do not realize that they are over-involved in their children's lives and it should be addressed (helicopter).  Some parent also do not realize that they are sort of babying their child through their life (snowplow).  It is important for parents to realize this so that they can teach their children at a young age to grow up and be mature/independent adults.
