Journal Title: International Journal of Home Economics, Hospitality and Allied Research - Year 2022, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
This study looked into how parenting styles affected secondary school-aged children's emotional adjustment. It specifically referred to the senior and junior secondary schools in the Anambra state's Nnewi South LGA. Based on pertinent literature, two research questions were developed. The various parenting philosophies, as well as self-concept and emotional adjustment, were examined. Senior and junior secondary school students that responded to the survey. Six secondary schools were sampled, and the results were utilized to identify the responders. The questionnaires used as the investigation's tool received responses from 180 boys and girls. The survey asks for personal information like gender and details on parenting practices and emotional adjustment. The study's results also showed that there is only a tenuous connection between parental parenting practices and secondary school students' emotional adjustment. This indicates that changes in parenting practices are not connected to changes in the emotional adjustment of teenagers. Additionally, there is no statistically significant relationship between parenting styles and secondary school children's emotional adjustment. The study's recommendations for parents include making sure that the parenting style they employ for their youngsters will aid in the development of healthy emotional adjustment and allowing the school counselor to start a program that will assist students in creating positive emotional self-concept.
