Parenting Practices | Elinor Lim

Authoritative parenting generally related to more desirable child development outcomes. Authoritarian parenting had mixed outcomes, some of which depended on which parent was authoritarian.
Parental behavioural control was generally linked to more desirable child development outcomes, but psychological control had more mixed results.
Active parental mediation of children’s internet use was related to desirable outcomes, while restrictive mediation was linked to both positive and negative outcomes.
Parents’ involvement in their children’s learning was positively related to educational outcomes but could also increase children’s learning anxiety. Parental involvement outside of learning had more clearly positive effects.
