Abstract	This research paper explores the influence of emotional intelligence (EI) on parenting styles and child development outcomes. Emotional intelligence, which involves the ability to recognize, understand, manage, and regulate one’s emotions, is proposed to play a key role in shaping how parents engage with their children. Parenting styles, which vary in terms of warmth and control, significantly impact children's emotional, social, and psychological development. Through a combination of theoretical insights and empirical data, this paper examines the relationship between emotional intelligence and the four main parenting styles: authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and neglectful. The paper also highlights the potential benefits of promoting emotional intelligence in parents, suggesting that improving parental EI may foster more adaptive parenting behaviors and enhance child outcomes.
