This is a great question. It is a truism that how you grew up profoundly affects your life as an adult. When it comes to raising children this fact holds true as well. Since this question is a personal one, let me share from my own life.
I was lucky enough to grow up in a very loving home with lots of encouragement and support. My parents were lenient yet provided good boundaries. Within those boundaries, I had a lot of freedom. I would say that my parenting in pretty much the same.
I give my son lots of freedom and support within boundaries. Furthermore, I would say that I am a lenient parent.
In light of this, I would say that I am similar to my parent's philosophy of raising children.
