Abstract This research focuses on understanding the influence of different parenting styles—normative, reactive, and competitive—on the overall development of children, particularly in the educational context. Parenting styles play a significant role in shaping a child's emotional, social, and cognitive growth, which in turn affects their academic performance and overall well-being. The study delves into the distinctive characteristics of these three parenting styles. Normative parenting refers to consistent, balanced practices that align with societal expectations, promoting a stable and nurturing environment for the child. Reactive parenting, on the other hand, is characterized by responding to children's behaviours primarily based on immediate needs or circumstances, which can lead to inconsistencies in the child's development. Finally, competitive parenting places a strong emphasis on achievement and comparison, often leading to pressure on children to outperform peers, potentially impacting their self-esteem and mental health. Understanding these parenting styles is crucial for educators and child development professionals. By identifying the effects of each style, the study aims to provide insights into how educational practices and child development strategies can be tailored to support children’s needs more effectively. The research underscores the importance of a balanced approach in parenting, with a particular focus on fostering positive educational outcomes.
