Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Elaborative parent-child conversations about past experiences have been shown to promote more complex and coherent self-concepts in children. Through such conversations, children are able to reflect on their experiences and gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the world. This can help to build their self-esteem and sense of identity. Neither authoritarian nor permissive parent-child interactions have shown to have a positive effect on children's self-concepts.
