Abstract

Parents can directly or indirectly impact children's early development. Specifically, parenting styles can influence their behaviour, whether they are typically developing children or children with special needs. This paper explores the influence of parenting styles on aggressive behaviour, using typically developing children and children with special needs as research subjects. Therefore, by collecting and analysing relevant researches it was found that parenting styles had a significant relationship with aggressive behaviour in typically developing children. However, parenting styles do not necessarily have a significant relationship with aggressive behaviour in children with special needs. Different parenting styles have different impacts on children. Positive parenting styles are associated with reduced aggressive behaviour, while negative parenting styles are associated with increased aggressive behaviour. Besides, research also found that there were other mediators and moderators influencing the relationship between parenting styles and children's aggressive behaviour. Furthermore, the review identifies limitations in the existing literature, such as research samples tending to be limited and narrow, a lack of research on aggressive behaviour in children with special needs, and a lack of studies comparing typically developing children and children with special needs. These findings of the paper provide theoretical implications for parents in educating their children.
