Abstract
As children’s psychological problems become more and more common, many papers focused on the impact of different parenting styles on the development of children’s anxiety and depression. On how certain parenting practises affect the onset of children’s psychological disorders, there is dispute, nevertheless. This paper gathered various papers that examined the relationship between parenting practises and children’s anxiety, depression, and academic performance. The present study then analysed the key points of each paper, listed its benefits and drawbacks, and made recommendations for further study. According to most findings, if parents apply a harsh parenting style, there will be a negative influence on children’s depression, anxiety and academic performance. Though it’s possible that cultural variables still have a significant impact on the association between parental practises and children’s psychological growth. Therefore, future research should concentrate on the effects of various parenting philosophies on kids’ psychological growth within various cultural contexts.
