'Hostile' parenting styles, including physical discipline and overcontrolling behavior, were found to nearly double the risk for their children to develop mental health symptoms, according to a new study.
"Our findings suggest that hostile parenting should be avoided as much as possible in early childhood if we want to prevent children from developing increased mental health symptoms," said lead author Dr. Ioannis Katsantonis, a doctoral researcher at the University of Cambridge. "We found that children in the high-risk class had parents with greater stress and greater likelihood of ongoing physical and mental health problems.
"Our findings underline the importance of doing everything possible to ensure that parents are supported," Symonds said."Nobody is born knowing how to parent. What I appreciate about this study is that it’s advocating for us to give more support to parents in terms of evidence-based parent management programs. These should be readily accessible in all communities for parents," according to Dr.
The researchers unexpectedly did not find any change in risk for mental health symptoms with "warm" parenting styles, which previous research has suggested is protective. "Of course, mental health symptoms are not just caused by parenting techniques," said Hurria. "There are many factors, such as genetics. But this does give us one area to intervene."
