* Sensitivity refers to the extent to which parents provide warmth and supportiveness.
* Strictness refers to the extent to which parents provide supervision and discipline.

Categorizing parents according to whether they are high or low on strictness and sensitivity creates four parenting styles:

* Indulgent
* Authoritarian
* Uninvolved
* Assertive

Indulgent parents are more sensitive than they are strict. Children of these parents tend to have high self-esteem, but
low motivation (e.g., perform poorly at school, do few if any chores). Also, they are more likely to have behavioral
problems at home and school.

Authoritarian parents are very strict, but not very sensitive. Children of these parents tend to have high motivation (e.
g., do well in school, do chores at home), but have very low self-esteem. They also have poorer social skills and higher
levels of depression.

Uninvolved parents are low in both sensitivity and strictness. Children of these parents tend to have both low
motivation and low self-esteem.

Assertive parents are both strict and sensitive. Children of these parents tend to have both high motivation and high
self-esteem.
