Annotation: The study explores the psychological impact of parental upbringing styles on the behavioral development of preschool children. Early childhood is a critical period for forming social, emotional, and cognitive skills, and the family environment plays a pivotal role in shaping a child’s personality and behavior. The research analyzes different parenting approaches, including authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and neglectful styles, and examines how these methods influence children's self-esteem, emotional regulation, social interactions, and overall behavioral patterns. By highlighting the correlation between parenting practices and child behavior, the study emphasizes the importance of positive and consistent parental guidance in fostering healthy psychological development. The findings are significant for educators, psychologists, and parents aiming to promote optimal growth and social adaptation in early childhood.
