The impact of the authoritative parenting style on the emotional development of a kindergarten student enrolled in a private school in Karachi, Pakistan.

Abstract

This case study investigates how an authoritative parenting style affects a kindergartener's emotional growth while attending a private school in Karachi, Pakistan. Children's development is recognized to be impacted by authoritarian parenting. It is characterized by strict standards coupled with attentiveness and emotional warmth. Its distinct effects on a young child's emotional development in an urban learning setting are examined in this study. The study uses qualitative methods, including in-depth interviews, observations, and discussions with parents, instructors, and the student, to identify critical elements of emotional development, such as self-confidence and self-esteem. The results show that parenting styles and a child's capacity to manage emotions, form bonds with others, and adjust to difficulties in a structured learning environment interact in a complex way. These observations highlight how important balanced parenting is for promoting emotional health in young children, and they have ramifications for parents and teachers who want to promote the holistic development of their charges.
