10. Summary of the thesis results:

The research results show that parents, as the research subjects, used all three parenting styles: democratic, authoritarian, and liberal. Of these, the democratic style was the most prevalent, followed by the authoritarian style, and the liberal style was the least common. There was no statistically significant difference in parenting styles between parents within the same family. Families where parents had the same parenting style accounted for a low percentage. The parenting styles of fathers and mothers differed significantly in each area of ​​family education. While mothers tended to use a democratic parenting style, fathers often used authoritarian and liberal styles towards their children.

Parents' parenting styles and their children's psychological development are positively correlated. According to parents themselves, those using an authoritarian parenting style tend to raise anxious, fearful, and shy children who are quite adept at personal hygiene and dressing. Conversely, parents using a democratic parenting style find their children to be confident, cheerful, sociable, and independent in their daily lives. Furthermore, data also shows that children who are "not yet capable of doing things independently" are mainly concentrated among those whose parents use a liberal parenting style. These children are generally more relaxed and free in all activities. While this can be seen as a favorable condition for a child's development, we believe that if this freedom and flexibility are not within any framework or limits, it may create adverse consequences for the child's socialization later in life.

Parents' parenting styles are influenced by specific factors such as occupation, family income, and the child's gender. Those working in law and politics tend to adopt an authoritarian parenting style and do not favor a more liberal approach. Meanwhile, those in the teaching profession are more approachable, friendly, and loving towards children, thus tending towards a more democratic parenting style. Only those in the business and civil service groups are more likely to favor a liberal parenting style compared to other groups.

Regarding income, most high-income parents choose an authoritarian parenting style. On the other hand, they also tend to use a liberal parenting style.

Furthermore, a child's gender significantly influences their parents' parenting styles. The majority of parents in this study tended to choose an authoritarian parenting style for their sons, hoping to instill discipline. Meanwhile, believing that girls are more self-disciplined and easier to manage, parents tended to opt for a more liberal parenting style for this group.

11. Practical applications:

The research findings of this thesis can serve as a useful resource for preschools, educational centers, and parents with children aged 3 to 6. Based on the research results, parents can see that in the process of educating their children, they should not completely neglect their children but also should not be too rigid. On the contrary, parents should create a comfortable and confident environment for their children to participate in activities, but within reasonable limits and boundaries. At the same time, parents need to proactively spend time with their children, sharing their thoughts and feelings to become closer to and understand them better.

12. Future research directions:

If possible, further research should be conducted on the influence of parental parenting styles on children's psychological development to help parents identify the parenting style that best suits their children, thereby improving the effectiveness of their educational efforts.

11. Summary of the thesis results:

In educational practice, parents are studied using the three types of parenting style: authoritative, authoritarian and uninvolved. In particular, authoritative style prevails over all, followed by the authoritarian style and the lowest proportion uninvolved style. There are no differences that were significantly significant for the type of education style between parents in the same household. In where families parents have identical education style accounting for the low rate. Educational styles of fathers and educational style of the mother in each family education sector differ significantly. While mothers tend to use democratic style of education, the father often uses authoritarian style of education and free for children.

Parenting styles and the psychological development of children is positively correlated with each other. According to the parents, who uses authoritarian style oftend to produce children or anxious, afraid, timid but are quite proficient in personal hygiene as well as in dress. In contrast, parents use authoritative style their child noticed that kids are confident, cheerful, sociable, able to be independent in daily living. In addition, the data also allows us to note that apparently the young "do not order" focused mainly in children whose parents use uninvolved style. These children often comfort, freedom in all activities. In certain corners is also seen as a favorable condition for the development of children, but we believe that if the freedom, comfort does not take place in a framework or limits at all, it can be create adverse consequences for the process of socialization of children in the future.

Parenting styles influenced by specific factors such as occupation, income, and family members of child sex. Those who do work related to law and politicians often use domineering style education with children and they do not endorse the views uninvolved style. Meanwhile, the teachers heading back is always close, and user friendly love for children, so they tend to use educational style democracy. Only business group and team officials, civil servants tend to choose the style liberal arts education is higher than the other groups.

For income, the majority of parents with high incomes choose authoritarian style with children. On the other hand, they also tend to use uninvolved style in educating their children.

Besides, the sex of the baby is not small to govern the practice of the type style of parental education. The majority of parents belonging to research groups of subjects tend to choose the authoritarian style for boys, with the desire forged in disciplined children. While saying that girls have better sense, more educated, so parents tend to choose the type uninvolved style for this population. .
