“…The results of this study add to a growing body of literature indicating that modeling alone is insufficient for explaining the association between marital conflict and TDV (e.g., Livingston et al, 2018; Temple et al, 2013). Developmental research indicates that in addition to modeling prosocial behavior, positive parenting has other important developmental effects, including the formation of positive working models of self and others as well as the promotion of self-regulation, social competence, and reduced internalizing and externalizing behaviors in childhood and early adolescence (Christopher, Saunders, Jacobvitz, Burton, & Hazen, 2013; Eiden et al, 2009; Eiden et al, 2007). These qualities affect how an adolescent interprets and responds to issues that arise in a dating relationship.…”

Exposure to marital conflict has been identified as a risk factor for teen dating violence (TDV). Given the high rates of marital conflict observed in families affected by paternal alcoholism, children of alcoholic fathers may be at increased risk for TDV. Positive parenting behaviors are protective against TDV in general, but whether they can attenuate the effects of exposure to marital conflict is uncertain. According to social learning theory, adolescents exposed to both positive and conflictual parenting may perceive aggression to be part of a normal and loving relationship and hence be at risk for TDV. In contrast, attachment theory would posit that positive parenting would better enable youth to regulate negative emotions and would be protective against TDV. The current study used prospective data to examine whether maternal acceptance buffered the relationship between exposure to marital conflict in early adolescence and TDV in late adolescence among a sample of adolescents at risk for TDV due to parental alcoholism. Adolescents ( N = 227, 50% female, 89% European American), half of whom had an alcoholic parent, completed surveys in early (eighth grade) and late adolescence (11th and 12th grades). They reported on exposure to marital conflict, perceptions of maternal acceptance, and involvement in TDV. Regression analyses revealed that exposure to marital conflict in early adolescence was predictive of TDV in late adolescence. However, an examination of the interaction between exposure to marital conflict and maternal acceptance indicated that at high levels of marital conflict and maternal acceptance, exposure to marital conflict no longer predicted TDV. Findings suggest that social modeling alone is not sufficient for understanding the intergenerational transmission of violence. A multipronged approach to violence prevention among high-risk families targeting both parental and parent–child relationships is recommended.

“…Preschoolers exposed to permissive parenting showed less self‐control and were less autonomous as adolescents, characterizing their socioemotional development as immature (Baumrind et al, ). Among toddlers (2–3 years), as parents reduced their level of permissiveness following a parenting intervention, children showed lower levels of verbal aggression (Christopher, Saunders, Jacobvitz, Burton, & Hazen, ), suggestive of some improvements in their social intelligence. Finally, it should be noted that other research has found parental permissiveness was unrelated to emotional intelligence in adolescents (Argyriou, Bakoyannis, & Tantaros, ).…”

This review focuses on parenting practices that are beneficial or antagonistic to the development of emotional and social intelligence in children. We start by reviewing the somewhat nebulous concepts of emotional and social intelligence. This is followed by an examination of the association between well-known parenting styles such as authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and directive parenting and various indicators of child emotional and social intelligence. The strategic emotion-coaching parenting style is also examined for its connections to comparable child outcomes. Parenting practices such as inductive discipline and parental availability also appear to cultivate emotional and social intelligence in children. Finally, overparenting is discussed as a parenting practice that apparently corrupts the development of these traits in emerging adults. We conclude that best practices, where emotional intelligence and social intelligence are the benchmarks, blend parental care and concern with a degree of parental demands on children that are appropriate for their developmental stage.
