The role of the parent in the family is to prepare children for adulthood through setting rules and disciplining, thereby playing a vital role in the socialization of children and adolescents. It is a role that cannot be abdicated to the school or other institutions. As children mature into adulthood, whatever the parents have impacted on them is reflected in their lives and may be more profound than any other influence. Parenting involves bringing up and looking after children, which may be done by either the biological or surrogate parents. It plays major roles in the overall development of a child and includes the social, educational and other adaptive behaviours that prepare the child for future life. Different parents carry out this function differently, owing to their diverse personalities and exposure, giving rise to different parenting styles and influences on the children they bring up. A parenting style is the environment in which families operate and where child-upbringing behaviour of parents or other key caretakers manifest. Kelland (2007) observes that where a model parenting style is used in the home the children are disciplined, but where it is lacking cases of indiscipline often arise. Deviant behaviour is defined as a violation of social values, community norms and a society's rules (Nyamoko&Ongole, 2014). Deviance in schools takes the form of truancy, habitual lateness, drug and alcohol abuse, smoking, inappropriate cross-gender relationships, skipping class, riots, vandalizing school properties, fighting, disrespect for authority, negative attitude and arrogance, and resistance to change (Nabiswa, Misigo&Makhanu, 2016). There is a tendency for deviant individuals to indulge in different forms of antisocial behaviour Unchecked, deviance at school can be contagious and reach dangerous levels. The cultural transmission theory argues that like other behaviours, deviance is learnt. The Differential-Association theory holds that deviance can be learnt in the same way that conformity is, through interaction with deviant individuals. It therefore calls for deliberate efforts to tackle deviance when it manifests. Cases of deviant behaviour leading to tragedy have been recorded in several countries. In Minnesota, United States, on the morning of March 21 st 20005, a sixteen year-old killed nine people in a shooting spree, seven of whom were fellow students at the Red Lake Senior High School. In Kenya 67 students died at the Kyanguli High School on 24 th March 2001 following arson by fellow students (Malayi, 2013). Loeber, Farrington and Petechuk (2008), in a study in the United States, observed that delinquent children increased by a third between 1990 and 2000. The current study focused on deviant behaviour among secondary school students in Kandara Sub-county, Murang'a County, Kenya, which has been on an upswing.

Parenting style is an essential factor in the development of children's behavior. But, it should research oppositely. This study determined the relationship between Permissive Parenting Styles and Maladaptive Behavioral tendencies. This study answer: (1) To what extent is the respondents' permissive parenting style experienced? (2) To what degree do respondents manifest maladaptive behavioral tendencies? and (3) is there a significant correlation between permissive parenting style and maladaptive behavioral tendencies of the respondents? The study revealed that parents were most likely to have an amiable attitude towards their children. The parents allow them to express their feelings, form their perspectives, and create their own decisions. They somehow showed considerations about their child's well-being and did not tolerate some stuff such as absences and laziness. Despite having a permissive parent, children have cheated on school tests, lied about their age to gain ...

The study investigated parental conflict and parenting style as predictors of deviant behaviour among undergraduate students, one hundred and fifty-six (156) undergraduate students with mean age of 19.16 and SD of 1.895 were drawn using multi-stage (cluster, simple random: by balloting and purposive) sampling techniques as participants from Enugu State University of Science and Technology, Enugu. Deviant Behaviour Variety Scale (DBVS; Sanches et al., 2016), Baumrid (1971) Parental care scale and Children's Perception of Interparental Conflict Scale (CPIC) (Grych, Seid, & Fincham, 1992) were used for data collection, a correlational design was adopted, while multiple hierarchical linear regression using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 27 software was used for data analysis. Finding shows that parental conflict (self-blame Stβ=-.009 and t=-.037, conflict properties Stβ=-.095 and t=-.394 and threat Stβ= .301 and t= 1.159 at p< .05) did not predict deviant behaviour among undergraduate student, Parenting style (authoritarian parenting Stβ= .425 and t= 1.861, permissiveness parenting Stβ= .019 and t= .100 and authoritative parenting Stβ=-.098 and t=-.433 at p < .05) did not predict deviant behaviour among undergraduate student. Hence, clinical psychologist and care givers should derive a means to handle the onset of deviant behaviour
Influence of Parenting Style on Children's Behavior in Southern Punjab, Pakistan
IUB Journal of Social Sciences , 2023
This study explored the influence of the parenting styles of the parents on the behavior of the children from southern Punjab, Pakistan, through a qualitative research design. A purposive sampling technique was used, and a semi-structured interview protocol was developed for data collection. The five parents (mothers) whose parenting styles had to be measured were from different backgrounds and socioeconomic statuses. The participants were approached through personal sources and contacts after complying with the complete research ethics. The validity of the instrument was examined through the expert opinion (N = 03), while the reliability of the instrument was assured through the extensive literature that addressed parenting styles. The data were analyzed through thematic analysis by finding three major themes that emerged from the categories of interviews, which are parents' behavior, ineffective parenting, and reasons for leaving educational institutes. The findings of the study revealed that authoritative and permissive parenting styles are used by most parents (mothers). Additionally, this study concluded that delinquent behaviors in children are a result of various factors of domestic life, e.g., false beliefs of the parents, low self-esteem of the children, mystification by parents, and communication gaps between parents and the children. The study recommends that regular training for parents on improving the quality of positive parenting styles should be conducted through the collaboration of public and private partnerships. Moreover, community-based rehabilitation centres must be established to raise awareness of parenting styles.
Relationship between Perceived Parenting Styles and Behavior Problems among School Age Children
2016
In the family, parenting style directly affects children's behavior. Few researches supported the correlation between parenting style and children's behavioral problems. The purpose of the study was to assess the relationship between perceived parenting style and behavior problems among school age children. A Descriptive correlational design was used to achieve the purpose of this study. Setting: primary schools in Qaliubiya Governorate, which are affiliated to the Ministry of Education. Subject: Multistage random sample of 600 students were selected from primary schools in Qaliubiya Governorate. Instruments of data collection: Two instruments were used; one instrument was used to assess perceived parenting styles. Another instrument was used to assess behavior problems among school age children. Results: Lying was highly present between 32.3% of children, harassment and teasing was moderately present between 31.2% of them and stealing was moderately found between 27% of children. There was highly significant negative correlation between parents' total parenting style pattern and behavior problems among students at p < 0.0001. Conclusion: The most commonly perceived parenting styles were acceptance, tolerance, equilibrium, caring and equality were negatively correlated with harassment, rebellion and disobedience, lying, aggression, stealing and truancy. Neglectful parenting is correlated with sharp increases in children's behavior problems. Recommendations: The study recommended that educational program should be given to the parents focused on providing acceptance, tolerance, equilibrium, caring and equality when dealing with children.

Parents form the core unit of a family and are at the very basic in the growth and development of their children. This includes moulding the children’s behaviour at different stages of life. While studies have been conducted to establish what influence parenting styles have on their children, there is no consensus on how the behaviour of children is influenced by the method used by parents in bringing them up. This paper, therefore, is a result of a study that sought to establish the effect of parental styles on the behaviour of students in secondary schools in Nairobi County. Respondents were sampled from 60 public secondary schools in Nairobi County consisting of head-teachers, student counsellors and students who were targeted as respondents and from whom data was collected. The study established that students had been involved in indiscipline cases at least 1 to 3 times in the previous year. The study concludes that discipline and child behaviour will largely depend on the styl...
Parenting technique and deviant behaviour
International journal of applied research, 2020
Aim of this study was to examine the effect the family has on an adolescent's behaviour. It is believed that parents have direct and indirect control over their children. Previous investigations have indicated that parents directly influence their children's' behaviour through the parenting techniques utilized. Parental support is the largest influence on creating preferable behaviour in adolescents. Along with the direct influence from parents, the parents have indirect control over their children where they live in and get socialized with the peers. Through these bonds, adolescents often get along with the juveniles where they succumb to the peer pressure that indeed causes deviant behaviour or juvenility. Adolescents learn greatly from their peers. The family has an indirect control over peers through community watch and their parenting techniques; teaching the child not to succumb to peer pressure. This information is vital due to the presence of juveniles in the criminal justice system.
The relationship between parenting styles and antisocial behaviour
2010
This study examined the relationship between parenting styles, parental punitiveness and family structure, and antisocial behaviour, as well as the influences of parental educational levels on respondents’ antisocial behaviour. Participants consisted of 227 male and 140 female students from the University of Limpopo, whose ages ranged from 17 to 24 years. Families were classified into one of four parenting styles (namely, authoritative, authoritarian, indulgent and neglectful) on the basis of respondents’ ratings of their parents on two parental dimensions: warmth/acceptance and supervision/control. The respondents were then compared with antisocial behaviour. The results indicated that the difference between the four groups of parenting styles did not reach statistical significance on antisocial behaviour. As well as the relationship between family structures and antisocial behaviour did not reach statistical significance. However, there were significant and positive relationships ...
