neglectful parenting
Careless raising of children
Neglectful parenting, also called uninvolved parenting, describes a style in which parents provide minimal attention, supervision, or emotional support to their children.
Unlike authoritarian or permissive approaches, neglectful parenting is characterized by absence rather than presence—parents may meet basic physical needs but remain disengaged from their children's emotional and developmental lives.
The court found evidence of neglectful parenting in the home.
This pattern is associated with poor outcomes for children, including difficulties with attachment and self-regulation.
