Parenting Styles and Impulsive Behaviour in Children: A Comparative Analysis of Democratic and Autocratic Parenting

Abstract

This study undertakes a nuanced exploration of the intricate dynamics between parenting styles and impulsive behavior in children, with a specific focus on the contrasting effects of democratic and autocratic parenting approaches. By delving into the complex interplay between parental influence and child development, this research aims to elucidate the mechanisms by which different parenting styles shape children's capacity for self-regulation, decision-making, and emotional control. The findings of this study underscore the significance of adopting a parenting approach that balances structure and autonomy, fostering an environment that promotes healthy development and mitigates the risk of impulsive behavior. The insights garnered from this research have important implications for parents, educators, and mental health professionals seeking to support children's socio-emotional development and promote positive behavioral outcomes.
