The woman at the well had her sins âwashed awayâ by Jesus. The story shows that Jesus offers divine mercy in the living water of grace, which washes away sins and cleanses souls. The woman went to the well to get a jug of water. Instead, she got much more, including a cleansed and refreshed spiritual life.
Authoritarian parenting is a restrictive, punishment-heavy parenting style in which parents make their children follow their directions with little to no explanation or feedback and focus on the child's and family's perception and status.
According to psychologist Diana Baumrind, authoritarian parents expect their children to follow strict rules unconditionally (2). She says, these parents âare obedience and status-oriented, and expect their orders to be obeyed without explanation.â This parenting style is the most controlling of all patterns.
