Explanation:

Neglectful parenting is considered as a style in which parents do not make demands to their children and they usually do not pay attention to their activities or social life. These kinds of parents do not have an important emotional involvement related to their kids. They provide them the basic needs but they do not involve in aspects referring to children's lives.

The degree of involvement could be different. Some parents can impose some restrictions to their children and other parents can reject their children completely. Thus, children only receive the basic need for their survival, it means nourishment and clothing.
