Parents learned helplessness is a psychological state where parents feel a lack of control over their child’s behavior and become passive in their parenting efforts. This can be caused by cognitive and psychological factors such as helplessness, low self-efficacy, and decreased problem-solving attempts. Social and environmental influences also play a role, such as modeling, criticism, lack of support, negative parenting styles, and overprotection. To address this, effective therapeutic interventions include cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, parent education programs, and family therapy.
