Parenting styles play a crucial role in shaping children’s socioemotional development and psychological well-being. However, the impact of parenting practices may vary across different cultural contexts. This cross-cultural study examines variations in parenting styles and their implications for child development outcomes across diverse cultural settings. Drawing on data from international surveys and ethnographic research, the paper compares parenting practices, such as authoritarian, authoritative, and permissive parenting, across cultures. Furthermore, it explores how cultural norms, values, and socio-economic factors influence parental behavior and child outcomes. The findings underscore the importance of considering cultural context in understanding the complex dynamics of parenting and child development.
