Associations between parenting styles and child self-regulation skills: A series of meta-analyses.

= 10) parenting. Parenting style reporting method was confirmed to be a significant moderator for supportive parenting, suppressive parenting, and passive parenting. Findings of the present study emphasize the benefits of supportive parenting and the detriments of suppressive parenting in fostering self-regulation skills across childhood and adolescence. While the directionality of these associations was unsurprising, the alignment in magnitude and therefore near-perfectly antagonistic roles for establishing children's independent regulation is a striking new contribution to developmental science. The inclusion of passive parenting did not yield significant main effects for the child self-regulation outcome, but the positive trend observed provides a baseline for future reviews to build upon. Implications for these meta-analyses include tailoring of intervention programs to include responsive parenting practices and strategies to reduce punitive discipline approaches.
