Effects Of Parenting Styles on Child Behaviour and Academic Performance
Keywords:
Parenting styles, child behaviour, academic performance, authoritative parenting, authoritarian parenting, permissive parenting, neglectful parentingAbstract
This research paper aims to discuss the consequences of differing types of parenting on children’s behaviour and subsequent performances in school. With the help of a literature survey and empirical studies we summarize the associations between authoritative parenting, authoritarian, permissive and neglectful parenting and children’s behaviour and school performance. The results indicate that authoritative parenting has significant associations with better child behaviour and greater academic achievements, whereas neglectful and authoritarian parenting is associated with negative outcomes. Relevance for parents, teachers, and policymakers are addressed.
