Abstract

Parenting styles affect relationship, autonomy, and development and well-being of young children. This study examines parental traits, parent-child bonding, and early child autonomy. It analyses how parenting methods affect children's socio-emotional development. This study examines how authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and negligent parenting styles affect parent-child relationships and early child autonomy using past research and theoretical frameworks. This research analyses how parenting strategies including showing love, being attentive, being stable, and supporting independence help children form strong emotional bonds and become self-reliant. The study collected data on parenting methods, parent-child relationship, and children's autonomy using quantitative questionnaires with parents and children. Qualitative interviews explore parents' and children's opinions on parenting practices and how they impact attachment and autonomy, whereas quantitative measures analyse parenting styles, attachment quality, and autonomy. The research shows the complex relationship between parenting, parent-child interaction, and early children's autonomy. The book promotes authoritative parenting, which is kind, responsive, and autonomy-supportive. Parenting this way helps youngsters form solid bonds and build autonomy. Authoritarian, permissive, and neglectful parenting styles have been associated to unstable attachment patterns and limited autonomy in children. The study offers therapies and support services to improve good parenting, parent-child connection, and children's autonomy. Policymakers and practitioners may provide information, resources, and support to parents, educators, and carers to create nurturing environments that build strong attachment bonds and independence, self-confidence, and resilience in children. This study helps us understand how parenting traits affect parent-child bonds and early children's autonomy. It highlights the importance of parenting styles and practices in shaping children's socio-emotional development. The study analyses the complex link between parenting and child outcomes. It informs efforts to improve parenting and family well-being.
