ABSTRACT

Parenting practices refer to a set of behavioral and emotional manifestations aimed at the socialization and care of children. Several investigations have found relationships between quality of parenting and children’s cognitive and affective development. Among those cognitive processes, the executive functions are strongly associated with brain plasticity which, in turn, is affected by experience. This article is a review of the main links found between parenting practices and the development of executive processes during childhood. The objective of this work is to present different designs used for the study of the relationship between executive functions and parenting practices and to confront their results. It is concluded that the methodological and operational diversity of the analyzed studies does not support a definitive relationship between parenting practices and the development of executive functions. For this reason, some methodological considerations will be made to clarify the relationships between both constructs.
