As well as being a reference for parents and prospective parents to find out the best parenting style in providing child care. This research uses a literature study type of research by collecting data through various theoretical references that are relevant to the cases or problems found. Based on the results of this research, it shows that the parenting style that best suits children's social and emotional development is a democratic parenting style where children have the freedom to do things but are still responsible. Because democratic parenting gives children the opportunity and freedom to choose.
