A Systematic Review Study on the Impact of Parenting Styles on the Development of young adults for their Happiness

Abstract

Parents use different parenting styles in raising their children and parenting styles have a significant effect on children's, happiness, well-being, and emotional and social development. The purpose of the current study is to expand on the above literature to facilitate a further understanding of the impact of parenting styles on the development of adolescents following the framework provided by Baumrind's studies. This study will attempt to extend the findings and reveal the impact of parenting styles on the overall development of adolescents for their happiness. It also emphasizes the role of a positive parenting style to promote a child’s development and positive well-being. It synthesized the findings of 20 peer-reviewed articles published in English from 2004 to 2022. Based on previous research, there is much evidence that the proper development of adolescents depends majorly on positive parenting. This paper suggested that for a better understanding, more research is needed on this printable topic.
