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.
Some researchers sum it up this way: Authoritative parents are both highly responsive and very demanding (Maccoby and Martin 1983). Thatâs the classic definition of the authoritative parenting style. And--using this definition--researchers have identified the authoritative parents throughout the world. But there is some variation. Itâs not clear that authoritative parenting takes the same form in all cultures.
