In their efforts to help the child grow into an independent and responsible person, parents use different parenting styles, which partly depend on the child's behaviour. There are four par-enting styles: authoritarian parenting style, authoritative parenting style, permissive parenting style and indifferent parenting style. Parents with several children can use a different parenting style for each child and have a different way of reacting, depending on the temperament and character of the child and on the situation in which the child finds himself. This research aimed to examine the relationship between parenting styles and parents' reac-tions to the child's behaviour in different everyday situations. The research participants were par-ents of children aged 3 to 7 years (N=92) who filled out a questionnaire constructed for this re-search. The questionnaire contained socio-demographic questions, a series of statements based on which the identification of an individual parent with each of the parenting styles was deter-mined, and a description of everyday situations, to which the parents answered by marking their reaction or assumed reaction in those situations. The results of the research show that among the participants there were most of those iden-tified with the dominant authoritative parenting style. A significant positive correlation between the results of authoritarian parenting style and permissive parenting style was determined, which is not in line with expectations. Also, a positive correlation was determined with authoritative parenting style and authoritarian parenting style and authoritative parenting style and permissive parenting style. The results show that parents mostly choose the reaction of talking to the child, without consequences for the child. The results additionally showed that in certain groups, situa-tions such as those in which the child made a mess and destroyed things have the most dominant responses in which the parents talk to the child, with consequences for the child. In addition, the results showed that in situations where the child fought or had a tantrum, there is an equally fre-quent number of responses to conversations with the child without consequences for the child and with consequences for the child. It can be concluded that the participants most often choose answers that point to an identification with an authoritative parenting style and that for most of the offered situations, regardless of the parenting style, they choose a conversation without and with consequences for the child, and they rarely choose fewer desirable actions. In situations where the child is clumsy, there is a difference in the chosen reactions, depending on whether they happen at home (more frequent ignoring) or in public (less frequent ignoring). The research results also show that parents of older children (5-7 years old), who consider themselves more permissive, allow their children to spend more time in front of electronic devices than they con-sider appropriate.
