The Impact of Parental Educational Styles on the Social Skills of Boys and Girls in the Early Childhood Education Stage
Palabras clave:
Parental educational styles, Parenting styles, Social skills, Social competenciesResumen
This study examines how different parenting styles influence the development of social skills in preschool children. A literature review was conducted using academic sources, followed by analysis of 13 recent articles from national and international databases, including Dialnet Plus and ERIC. Findings indicate that parenting style significantly affects children’s socioemotional growth. Dysfunctional or authoritarian approaches can hinder social competence, while democratic and supportive styles promote healthier development. These results underscore the importance of family environment in early childhood education and suggest the potential value of psychoeducational programs to assist parents in fostering positive interactions and enhancing their children’s social and emotional learning. The study also highlights avenues for future research on effective parenting strategies and child development.
