In this way it was established which is the type of parenting that predominates in adolescent mothers and to observe that the life project influences parenting styles. To this end, the descriptive correlational method was used, with a quantitative approach methodology, two questionnaires/surveys were used to determine the scale on which the adolescent mothers were with respect to their life project, the Life Project Evaluation Scale was used, and to determine which parenting style predominates in this researched group, the Robinson, Mandleco, Olsen & Hart (1995) Parenting Practices Questionnaire, adapted by Gaxiola, Frías, Cuamba, Franco, & Olivas (2006) was used. The results obtained were that more than half of the adolescent mothers have an established life project but are not carrying it out, the factors that could be determined were self motivation, support and time; the parenting style that predominated in this group was authoritarian, which is not the most appropriate parenting style since it does not help the child's development and it coerces him/her, which is why it is not a respectful parenting style.
