Poor social skills

Many factors play a role in the development social skills of children. These factors can lead to low social skills, poor school completion rates, and difficulties in relationships. Poor social skills can also lead to persistent aggression and antisocial behavior in children. Also, improper parenting can have a negative impact on a child’s self perception and ability to make new friends.


Low self-esteem

Children who receive support and encouragement from their parents are more likely to have a positive self-perception. They experience even small accomplishments as evidence of their strong self-esteem. Children will be more confident in their self-esteem if their parents are consistent and authoritative. Parents who allow their children to be oblivious or lenient should not expect them to have the same success. They should instead foster children's self-esteem and self-perception.

Poor impulse control

A study has shown that children with two authoritative parent have dramatically different behavioral outcomes to those with the other parenting styles. Children raised by authoritative parents had significantly higher levels of negative behavior than those raised by parents who were more positive and authoritative. However, they showed the lowest number of conduct problems. These results suggest that parents may be able to have different parenting styles. Parents should avoid authoritarian parenting styles if they fear their child will develop poor impulse control.

Mental health issues

An authoritarian parenting style may not allow for your child's personal autonomy and lead to behavioral problems both inside and outside the home. The authoritarian parenting style may cause your child to withdraw from others or fear being rejected. These behaviors can have a long-lasting effect on a child’s mental health and could lead to substance abuse or aggression. Apart from these negative effects on the child's mental and physical health, authoritarian parenting can cause low self-esteem and depression.
