Abstract

Children's growth and development are affected by many factors, especially the parenting style among family factors. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the problem of the influence of parenting styles on children and explore the factors that influence them. Based on the current literature and data investigation,the authors focused on the issue of the influence of parenting styles on children's behavior, academic performance, and emotional intelligence. The results of this study show that the influence of parenting styles on children is both positively and negatively correlated, depending on what type of parenting style the parents have. Positive parenting styles, such as authoritative parenting styles, are usually positively associated with children's development, while negative parenting styles, such as authoritarian parenting styles, are negatively related to the impact on children. This is an area of research that is useful for exploring how to improve parenting styles to promote healthy child development and motivate children to do things right.
