Parenting has been defined as the knowledge, attitudes, competences, beliefs and behaviors that parents assume in relation to their children´s socialization. Research on this issue has largely increased during the last decades, highly focusing on the study of attachment and parenting styles and their impact on the infants, children and adolescents psychological development. Within this framework, this work aims at analyzing the main parenting approaches and aspects that have been studied from Psychology. Likewise, some studies carried out with the Argentine population are included, in which we could confirm the important influence that parenting exert on children emotional, social and cognitive development. Finally, based on the studies reviewed, future lines of research in this area are suggested.
