ESTILOS PARENTAIS E REGULAÇÃO EMOCIONAL: IMPACTOS NA COMUNICAÇÃO E NAS RELAÇÕES INTERPESSOAIS INFANTIS

Abstract

This study addresses the relationship between parenting styles and children’s emotional regulation, focusing on the impacts of this dynamic on communication and interpersonal relationships among children and adolescents. The research problem sought to understand how different parenting styles influence children’s ability to recognize, express, and regulate emotions, reflecting on their social behaviors and interpersonal bonds. The objective was to analyze how authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and neglectful parenting practices interfere with socioemotional development in childhood. The study was conducted through a qualitative, descriptive, and bibliographic approach, based on scientific articles published between 2015 and 2025, retrieved from databases such as Google Scholar, in addition to classical references used for conceptual deepening. The results showed that parenting practices grounded in affection, dialogue, positive monitoring, and balanced limit-setting foster emotional regulation, empathy, autonomy, and healthier interpersonal relationships. Conversely, authoritarian, permissive, and neglectful styles were associated with emotional difficulties, aggressive behaviors, insecurity, low frustration tolerance, and impairments in socialization. It is concluded that the family plays a fundamental role in the child’s emotional development and that interventions aimed at parental guidance can significantly contribute to healthy socioemotional growth and the promotion of more balanced interpersonal relationships.
