Martha Kent, an example of authoritative motherly affection, raised Clark to be a loving adult man
Kent’s family parenting style is authoritative. Jonathan Kent raised Clark to be consistent and congruent, while Martha Kent raised Clark to be a loving, mature man.
Martha Kent uses authoritative (democratic) parenting instead of authoritarian, indulgent (permissive), or neglectful (ignorant) in educating her son Clark.
Authoritative parenting allows for healthy communication between mother and child. Clark Kent grew up to be a man who is honest, obedient, loving, and appreciates the women in his life.
Even though Clark knows Martha Kent is not his biological parent, he often visits Martha Kent, his adoptive mother in Smallville to catch up after Jonathan Kent passed away.
All of this stems from the upbringing Clark received as a child from Martha and Jonathan Kent. He had a strong bond with his adoptive mother and father.
Martha Kent is an example of a mother who is always supportive and accepts her son as he is. That makes Clark Kent grow into a mature man who has a good attitude and is full of love.
