“…When parents communicate roles and limits through disciplinary practices, they provide children with a clear set of guidelines for appropriate behavior, making them feel more comfortable with their parents, have a closer parent-child relationship, self-regulate earlier than their counterparts, and accept discipline with greater ease ( Aguilar-Yamuza, Raya-Trenas, Pino-Osuna, & Herruzo-Cabrera, 2019 ; Soenens & Vansteenkiste, 2010). In contrast, inconsistent disciplinary practices fail to provide sufficient and clear cues for socially acceptable behavior in children, which results in the development of externalizing problems ( Hill, Witherspoon, & Bartz, 2018 ; Holtrop, McNeil Smith, & Scott, 2015 ; Marchand-Reilly, 2012 ; Pouliot-Lapointe, Gagné, Drapeau, & Saint-Jacques, 2014 ; Raya Trenas, Pino-Osuna, & Herruzo-Cabrera., 2012 ).…”
