With a sample of 120 students randomly selected from three secondary schools in the FCT, parenting styles were related to self-esteem of students through a co-relational study. Three hypotheses were formulated to guide this research and one research question was posed. A researcher-made questionnaire termed Parental Authority and Self-esteem Questionnaire (PAASEQ) was the instrument for data collection while Pearson's Product Moment Correlation statistic was the statistical tool for data analysis. Findings showed that there were significant positive relationships between authoritative and permissive parenting styles and students' self-esteem, and a significant negative relationship between authoritarian parenting style and students' self-esteem. Following these findings, it was recommended that parents should be counselled on the issue of effective parenting, students should be counselled on the need to develop good self-esteem while parents, teachers and significant others should be mindful of the need for psychosocial success among secondary school students.

Introduction: Parents play an important role in shaping their children's character and are considered an important determinant in several aspects of their children's outcome including how they view themselves. Parent child relationship is important and influential to the child's self esteem as posited by several researchers mainly in Europe. The concept of self esteem and the role it plays on a person has been described in many personality theories. Local studies on the subject are scanty though those done in Europe reported statistical significant relationship with self esteem. The current study set out to investigate whether there is a relationship between levels of self esteem and their perception of their parent parental behavior in public day secondary schools in the Nairobi County, Kenya. Method: A random sample of school going adolescents was taken from a stratified sample of 6 day public secondary schools in Nairobi County (Kenya). Self administered instruments were used to measure perceived parental behavior and levels of self esteem in a total of 454 students. Variables in the study included demographic data, parenting styles/forms of child abuse and levels of self esteem. Results: Mothers were ranked high on emotional neglect compared to fathers. However, adolescents did not perceive their mothers as physically neglectful towards them compared to their fathers who they perceived as physically neglectful. Fathers were also ranked high on physical abuse compared to mothers. Further analysis revealed that authoritarian parenting style and the four forms of child abuse were negatively correlated to levels of self esteem. Conclusions: This study suggests that parental behavior has a statistical significant association with adolescents' level of self esteem. Factors that play a role in low self esteem needs to be explored. This study paves way for future studies around the topic of parenting and levels of self esteem, and creates a deeper understanding on the subject.

Parenting is the process of promoting and supporting the physical, emotional, social, spiritual, vocational, and intellectual development of a child from infancy to adulthood. The high self-esteem gained will help the boy children to improve their performance in every feel at home and in school. The study was confined to the influence of parenting styles on self-esteem of the boy child within Taita Sub-County of Taita-Taveta County. The participants in this study were consisted of pupils, administrators, and teacher counselors. Additionally, Baumrind, (2012) states that authoritarian parenting is a style of child nurturing that has many demands and rigidness. Authoritarian parents are very strict and expect their orders to be followed without question. This study employed cross-sectional survey design. A cross-sectional research design is a design in which researchers collect data from participants within a single point in time. The cross-sectional survey design was considered appropriate for this study because it allows the researcher to use minimal contact between the researcher and the respondent. The target population consisted of 2600 pupils, 94 administrators and 80 teacher counselors, from within Taita Sub-County. Pupils involved in the exercise were all in the age between 11 years to 14 years. The population of this study was composed of administrators, teacher counselors and pupils. The study concluded from the results, majority of the respondents-172 (70.5%) agreed that their parents are authoritative. A chi-square test revealed that there is a statistically significant relationship between the authoritative parenting style and self-esteem. A spearman correlation test showed that authoritative parenting style had a 10.7% correlation with self-esteem (rho = 0.107). This implied that a unit increase in authoritative parenting leads to a 10.7% increase in the self-esteem of male pupils in public primary schools. Qualitative analysis revealed that key informants stated the following: 'Authoritative parenting helps the boys have high self-esteem'; 'With authoritative parenting, the male pupils become very good leaders, since they practice what they see from parents'. From the findings, there is enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis that stated: authoritative parenting style does not have a statistically significant influence the level of self-esteem of children in primary schools. Therefore, authoritative parenting style influences the self-esteem of male pupils.
