Abstract
This research focuses on the importance of adolescent psychological development. Parents play an essential role in the growth of adolescents, and their parenting styles have a prominent impact on their mental health, self-emotional control, social adaptability, and academic performance. Different parenting styles function differently in their physical and mental development. This article adopts the method of literature review to conduct a retrospective analysis of previous studies on the effects of parental rearing style on the psychological development of adolescents. Parents who use critical parenting styles are more likely to lead to psychological problems such as depression in adolescents. Moreover, parents who habitually refuse or overprotect their children are also associated with high anxiety levels and negative emotions in adolescents. Positive parenting will enable adolescents to develop their self-efficacy and social adaptability better. On the contrary, authoritarian or neglectful parents will cause adolescents a greater chance of imbalance in their psychological development. The active participation of parents in parenting can also promote the academic participation of adolescents and affect their academic performance. This review provides insights into how parents can adopt effective parenting styles to promote the psychological development of adolescents in reality.
