There is no best way to child rearing but there are some scientifically-backed parenting ways that can work and make the experience of raising the child a better and rewarding one. There are some parenting styles that have been documented, and one such is the free-range parenting style. The approach is built on the foundation of exercising less or no control over the children at all. Common sense and rationality is key to this style, with parents expecting their children to be responsible with little guidance and being able to stand on their own. This section shall explore the style of parenting, its effects, merits, and demerits on the basis of studies that have already been carried out on the subject.
