Overview

Cross-sectional study finds significant links between parenting style and anxiety symptoms in children, suggesting a need for parental guidance.

Key Points

  • Children's anxiety symptoms were significantly associated with parenting style, specifically authoritarian approaches.
  • High anxiety scores in children correlated with an odds ratio of 1.633 for authoritarian parenting by fathers.
  • As age increased, the prevalence of anxiety symptoms showed a decreasing pattern among participants aged 10 to 15.
  • Counseling parents on responsive parenting may mitigate anxiety symptoms in preadolescent children.
