The aim of the review is to analyze the correlation between parenting styles and children’s prosocial behavior development. Due to the observation of the lack of prosocial behavior in some children’s lives, often with insufficient socialization, social difficulties, and other phenomena that affect future development, we want to figure out the best parenting style for children to grow up. Recently, under the increasingly severe challenge of children’s psychological problems, it is important to review the impact of parenting styles on children's prosocial behavior. Through three databases, we selected literature related to parenting styles and children's prosocial behavior during the late 20 years for study, reference, and analysis. The result showed that authoritative parenting encourages the prosocial behavior of children, while authoritarian parenting hinders the advancement of children's prosocial behavior. After a series of analyses, we concluded that authoritative parenting is currently the most recommended parenting style for the development of well-rounded personalities and prosocial behavior in children. For children and adolescents who lack prosocial behavior, acquired education is helpful in improving their behavior and cognition. The findings indicated that parenting styles is essential for the growth of children’s prosocial behavior.
