How parenting styles can affect children's Behaviour?

The findings revealed that authoritarian parenting style leads the children to become rebellious and adopt problematic behavior due tomore than necessary power exercised on children by parents. In contrast, authoritative parenting style is effective for children, as it encourages moderate parenting style.

Does parenting affect a child's personality?

There is clear evidence that parents can and do influence children. There is equally clear evidence that children's genetic makeup affects their own behavioral characteristics, and also influences the way they are treated by their parents.

Can parenting style be inherited?

The comprehensive analysis, involving more than 20,000 families from Australia to Japan to the United States, found that genetic influences in the parents account for 23 percent to 40 percent of parental warmth, control and negativity towards their children.

It found that a negative parenting style characterised by more harsh, inconsistent discipline was clearly associated with more severe child antisocial behaviour. This remained true even after a range of child and family socioeconomic factors were taken into account.
