<![CDATA[Children's socio-emotional development is influenced by parental caregiving patterns, including democratic parenting styles. Many parents are inconsistent in applying caregiving patterns, sometimes influenced by their environment such as family, neighbors, or social media. Inappropriate caregiving leads to children having low self-confidence and difficulties in expressing emotions. This study was conducted to reveal the positive impacts of democratic parenting to encourage more effective caregiving. The research method used is a mixed-method approach with an explanatory sequential model, employing quantitative techniques through questionnaires and qualitative techniques through interviews, observations, and document studies, with a sample of 25 respondents. The results show that democratic parenting has a positive influence on children's socio-emotional development, enhancing their ability to manage emotions, understand feelings, and show empathy. These findings emphasize the importance of consistently applying democratic parenting to support children's socio - emotional development.]]>
