The study found that
“parents can impact their
child’s mood and provide
his/her academic success
and psychological growth
through using different child-
rearing practices.” Because
authoritative parents imply
age-appropriate
demands,
encourage their children to be
autonomous, and allow their
children to make decisions
as they show readiness and
make them participate in
problem-solving as part of
their discipline strategy, their
children show more creativity.
On the other hand, they
found that the perfectionist
expectations of authoritarian
parents and teachers weaken
creativity. Because these
parents
firmly
control
their children and expect
unquestioned obedience while
providing little in the way of
meeting emotional needs, these
children grow up in fear and
negativity, their creativity
squashed having never been
exercised or supported.
