Introduction:
The life satisfaction of parents of children with cerebral palsy should be assessed. Parenting a child with a disability may bring more challenges and efforts, impacting overall quality of life.
Aim Of The Study:
the study aimed to evaluate the satisfaction with life of parents of children with cerebral palsy.
Material And Methods:
The study was designed to assess the satisfaction with life of parents of children with cerebral palsy. To measure this outcome, we developed an original survey consisting of 29 questions inspired by the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS). The study involved 43 parents or legal guardians of children diagnosed with cerebral palsy.
Results:
A correlation was identified between parental life satisfaction and the amount of leisure time reported by parents (p = 0.004, R = 0.46). The research indicates that parental life satisfaction does not depend on the parent's satisfaction with the level of therapy (p > 0.05) and the degree of improvement in the child's functioning (p > 0.05).
Conclusions:
The level of parental life satisfaction does not depend on the level and outcome of therapy. The more leisure time the parents have, the greater their life satisfaction is. Parents of children with cerebral palsy should take care of their free time.

Authoritarian Parenting
This style is strict and controlling, with little room for open dialogue. Authoritarian parents demand obedience and often enforce rules with minimal warmth. Children raised this way may lack social skills and initiative, usually comparing themselves to others unfavorably.
