Type: article
Abstract: The article highlights the crucial importance of parenting style in the lives of children with diabetes, showing how it directly influences the children's ability to manage the disease and lead a balanced life. Parenting style not only plays a role in diabetes management, but also has a profound impact on the child's emotional state and long-term development. The comparative study between school-aged children with diabetes and those without diabetes examined the impact of parenting styles on key factors in socio-emotional development and diabetes management in children, identifying parenting styles as significant predictors of children's emotional intelligence as well as internalizing and externalizing problems. A parenting style that actively involves the child in the process of diabetes management, both through education and emotional support, can have a major positive impact on the child's quality of life. Therefore, it is essential that parents adopt a style that supports not only the strict management of the disease but also the child's emotional and social development, ensuring a balance between medical requirements and the child's emotional needs.
