Examining the Connection Between Parenting Styles and High School Students' Interest in Learning
Abstract
High school is an important stage of individual development, and students in this period will face more learning pressure and greater interpersonal pressure. Whether these life pressures can be handled well also directly affects their physical and mental health. Children's nature is to imitate their parents' behavior, explore their children's thirst for knowledge, and let them see the desire to learn from themselves, so as to form positive values. If their parenting style is very extreme, then it will have an indelible impact on the child. It can be said that high school should be a stage where children have a strong interest in learning and are eager for knowledge. If not properly guided, it is also a great loss for the child. Therefore, the influence of parents' educational style on high school students' learning interests is very important. Based on this problem, this paper explores the relationship between parental styles and high school students' interest in learning, emphasizing the crucial role parents play in encouraging their children’s academic curiosity and providing a proper reference for future research in this domain.
