Authoritative parents主语 are more likely系表结构 than
permissive parents 不定式作主语补足语to have children定语从句 who as
adolescents are self-confident,high in self-
esteem,and responsibly independent.你可以分开来理解Authoritative parents are likely to have children··这个不定式是补充Children whose parents are authoritative rather
than being动名词还是分词说明主语Authoritative parent分词s,故是主语补足语.
Children whose parents are authoritative rather than being是分词,可以用下面这个句子来理Children whose parents are authoritative rather than the parents who are permissive,理解为一个定语从句,是修饰parents的,故是分词,注：动名词在句子中的作用相当于名词,介于动词与名词之间,而分词描述的是与名词之间的关系,主动或被动.
