Abstract
Stuttering is a disruption in the normal patterns of speech where repeated communicative difficulties can have a negative influence on the lives of children who stutter (McAllister, 2016). The presence of stuttering has been shown to
result in elevated levels of anxiety in children. Childhood anxiety has been
associated with various environmental factors, including parenting styles. Models
describing development and maintenance of childhood anxiety disorders have highlighted the central role of parental behaviors as parents play a considerable role in shaping children’s emotional health. Each of the parenting styles has
different effects on children. Permissive parenting style has been found to promote the development of social and performance anxieties more than other
parenting styles (Sahithya & Raman, 2020). The aim of the study was to: The present study was carried out to assess the relationship between parenting style and anxiety in children with stuttering

The mean age of the studied children was4.08±0.94 and ranged from 3-
6years.
More than half of parents of studied children (56%) are used authoritative

Based on the findings of the present study, the following
recommendations were suggested:
1- Increasing public awareness about importance of pre-marital examination
to prevent genetic disease.
2- Developing program for educating parents on the different parenting
styles, and the effect of each style on child rearing especially those with
stuttering.
3- Increasing public awareness about management of psychological
consequences of stuttering especially anxiety symptoms among children.
4- Increasing the community awareness about the needs and problems of

available community mental health services. In further research: 1. Replication of the study using a larger sample in different correctional settings for further confirmation and generalization of the results.
