Adolescents enter a period of shocks and challenges as a result of the many changes that occur in them(Wendari, 2.

Parenting is the initial foundation for the development of a child's personality, which parents provide (Tridhonanto, 2. Horlock distinguishes three types of parenting Hurlock proposes three parenting styles: authoritarian parenting, democratic parenting, and permissive parenting. Permissive parenting, according to Hurlock, is a loose/free attitude from parents. Parents do not regulate, control, or guide their children very much. Children are given the ability to self-regulate (Baswedan, 2. Permissive parenting is a parenting pattern for children that aims to shape the child's personality by providing very loose supervision and opportunities for their children to do something without sufficient supervision from him, while parents have a tendency not to reprimand or warn children when the child is in danger and provide very little guidance (Faisal, 2. This permissive parenting pattern demonstrates that parents prefer to avoid conflict with their children, so they allow whatever their children do (Badriah, 2.

The family is the first institution in a child's life where he or she learns and declares himself or herself to be a social being (Jalaludin, 2. The family is the foundation for children's behavior, character, morals, and education.

According to Article 26 of Law No. 23 of 2002 on Child Protection, "Parents have an obligation and responsibility to nurture, nurture, educate, and protect their children. It is entirely the responsibility of parents to raise and develop their children in accordance with their abilities, talents, and interests". Parents have an obligation to protect their children from environmental climate change by instilling societal values.

Their parents also believe that a child's religious education can be obtained from schools and places of study. This is consistent with Baumrind's belief that family involvement is critical in the development of children's social and cognitive abilities. In adolescent life, permissiveindifference parenting is a pattern in which the family is very non-intrusive. This is related to adolescents' inept social behavior, particularly their lack of self-control. Such families fail to provide their children with adequate emotional guidance and support. Parents do not monitor their children's activities and interactions outside the home, and they rarely attend to their children's needs and engage in dialogue with them According to the findings of the research, there is a correlation between the results of interviews and the results of observations, indicating that parents who practice permissive parenting are less concerned with their children's friendship and pay less attention to their children's needs Dialogue is rarely used, especially to complain and request consideration. This is consistent with what Rabiatul Adawiah stated. this parenting style is frequently preferred by children. Permissive parents give their children full power, without responsibility and responsibility, lack control over their children's behavior and only act as providers of facilities, and lack communication with their children.

And he explained, "I go to the Koran every day, but sometimes I am lazy to recite the Koran because I am tired after coming home from school and playing with my friends, so I don't recite the Koran, and my parents don't scold me if I don't go to Koran because they are busy in the garden".
