adjust quickly to each other for effort full
development. In the first year of life, the face feeding
problems, digestive discomfort, irregular sleep
patterns and crying. Witnessing the quarrels between
mother and father during the babies physical and
mental growth period makes them hostile and
undertrained in the second year of life. Parents report
that their child’s behavior at this age is stubborn and
they have a temper.
• Early Childhood: Children in preschool have
mobility problems, language related problems and
immature judgement. Studies and service shows that a
common problem in preschool children is due to
representational thinking and fear involving thought
and imagination. Other issues are being asocial; using

authoritative parenting (warm and farm personality),
authoritarian/controlling parenting (minor warm /highly
controlling personality), permissive parenting/indulgent
parenting (amiable and understanding), and uninvolved
parenting/negative to parent (not warm, doesn’t demand
anything). Below table shows the various parenting styles:

If both the father’s and mother’s parenting styles are

different, like one parent is authoritarian and the other
parent is permissive, then in this condition, they should sit
and discuss with each other the situation faced by the child
and the child’s needs. Cooperative, motivated and
responsible children are as a result of the authoritative
parenting style. Environment and behavioural genetic
patterns also play a role in children's cognitive
development. Parenting styles is determined by the
mother’s and father’s behavior, with internalizing
problems such as sleep and more and externalizing
problems such as social stress and job difficulty. Individual
adolescent characteristics like temperament and
personality also play and essential role in parenting.

Parenting style in Bangladesh:

The parent child relationship in Bangladesh is a rich and
complex tapestry woven from cultural traditions, evolving
and social economic realities. Here is a deeper type into its
nuances:
• Cultural threads:

1. Respect and obedience: Children’s are expected to

show utmost respect and obedience to their elders,
particularly parents.

2. Collectivism: Parents privatize the will be and

success of the entire family which can sometimes
arrested children’s choice

3. Gender rolls: Traditional gender roles play a part.

Strict discipline for boys of an emphasize courage
and resilience, wild girls are grown for domestic
responsibilities and obedience. Though this is
gradually changing.
• Changing colors:

1. Modernization: Organization, education and

exposure to global media introduce new ideas
about parenting.

2. Child rights awareness: recognition of children’s

rights and emotional needs is growing. More
parents are understanding and the importance of
nurturing trust, respecting individually and
providing emotional support.

3. Individual variations: socio economic factors,

such as parents education levels and family
dynamics, influence parenting practices and
relationships. Urban families with higher
education may adopt more progressive
approaches, while rural community may lean
towards traditional styles.

• Challenges and opportunities

1. Shifting from authoritarianism : Moving away

from Street control towards mutual respect and
 open communication is crucial for healthy child
development.

2. Addressing gender bias : Challenging entrenched

gender stereotypes is essential. Parents need to
promote equal opportunities, responsibility and
emotional expression for both boys and girls.

3. Supporting parents : Resources and education on

child development, positive parenting practices
and emotional communication can empower
parents to build stronger relationships with their
children.

The parent child relationship in Bangladesh is evolving.

While respecting cultural values, there is an increasing
focus on open communication, emotional connection, and
respecting individual needs. This shift, fueled by
modernization, changing social norms and education, hold
promise for nurturing stronger, healthier family bonds in
future .
