Parenting Styles and Approaches
How do parenting styles affect a child’s decision-making skills?
Parenting styles shape how children learn to make choices and solve problems. Supportive and balanced styles encourage kids to think independently, weigh options, and learn from mistakes. When parents guide with respect and offer safe freedom, children build confidence in their decisions. Conversely, overly strict or permissive styles might limit this growth, either by suppressing autonomy or leaving kids without guidance. Cultivating thoughtful decision-making is a gift that lasts a lifetime.
