Parents influence an infant's self-concept and self-esteem development through the parenting styles they utilize. Parenting influences a child's development of self-concept through establishing a warm relationship between the parent and child that in turn creates secure attachment. With regards to self-esteem, parents who encourage their children to succeed enhance their children's self-esteem while those who criticize their performance contribute to a child's low self-esteem. Parenting influences emotional understanding by labeling emotions and recognizing a child's emotional reactions whereas emotional self-regulation is influenced by verbal guidance and expression of emotions by parents. Self-conscious emotions are influenced by providing feedback to children whereas empathy and sympathy is influenced by how parents show concerns to the child's feelings. The patterns of positive development that are linked to positive development include sensitivity to a child's feelings and warm, sensitive parenting (McIntyre, n.d.).
Child-rearing styles i.e. authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, and uninvolved styles affect a child's development through influencing the child's self-understanding. These styles affect important domains of a child's development, especially self-concept and self-esteem depending on the kind of relationship between the parent and child. The child's view of him/herself and understanding of the surrounding world is affected by parent-child relationship, which is influenced by the specific child-rearing style. Authoritative parenting style is linked to positive outcomes because it's the most suitable for developing a healthy self-esteem in children. A healthy self-esteem in turn contributes to positive impacts on the other domains of the child's growth and development. Some of the factors that influence an individual's approach to parenting include family background, social influences, religious beliefs, and the child's temperament and personality.
