Parenting styles and academic outcomes of secondary school boys': A correlation study

AUTHOR(S): Dr. Manohar Lal
ABSTRACT:
This paper examines the relationship between parenting styles and secondary school boys’ academic competence. This emphasises the importance of authoritative parenting about self-control and children's educational achievements. Authority, warmth and emphasis on individual differences are some characteristics of authoritative parenting. The researchers administered a survey to assess the academic performance and parenting behaviours of one hundred fifty boys from several secondary schools. Most boys said their parents pushed them away or treated them indifferently and these patterns were associated with lower grades. Similarly, academic performance is shown to have a robust positive association with inattentive parenting, indicating reverse causation. However, other parenting philosophies, such as indulgence and neglect, Lenient Standards Vs Moralism, Freedom Vs Discipline, may also significantly influence academic achievement. Increasing parental participation and addressing the negative impacts of some parenting beliefs on children's cognitive and motor development are among the suggestions.
