Abstract
Parenting styles play a crucial role in shaping children's emotional, social, and cognitive development, influencing their behavior, self-esteem, academic performance, and overall well-being. This paper examines the various parenting styles—authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and neglectful—as defined by developmental psychologist Diana Baumrind, and explores how each style impacts a child's development across cultural and socio-economic contexts.Modern parenting is blended with various concerns. An emergingstudy highlights how individual temperament, environmental factors, and parent-child interactions modify these outcomes, underscoring the complexity of parenting effects. This study further explores the significance of adaptive parenting approaches, which adjust to children’s changing needs, to support their growth in a dynamic world. Insights gained may contribute to enhancing parenting practices and informing educational and policy interventions aimed at promoting optimal child development. The impact of social class on the selection of parenting style is also considered in the research.
