Abstract

This paper evaluated the association between parenting styles and emotional stability from previous scholarly reviews. The paper clarified some issues on parenting styles and emotional stability. It was uncovered that parenting styles (permissive, authoritarian, authoritative parenting and neglectful/indifferent parenting styles) either directly or indirectly affect emotional stability of school age children. Therefore, the researcher provided some counselling implications and suggested that school guidance counsellors should endeavour to identify emotion disturbed children at school and provide them with the necessary guidance services needed to meet their emotional needs
