Abstract

Parenting style is determining an effective factor that plays an important role in children’s psychopathology and growth. This study aimed to identify the parenting styles of the parents of the Grade IV pupils of one elementary school and their influence on their academics. Descriptive-correlational research was employed in the study. Respondents were 15 mothers and 15 fathers. An adopted questionnaire served as the main tool for gathering data. The academic performance of the pupils was taken from their third grading period. The respondent's parents do not just leave the teachers the education of their children. The parents had varied parenting styles. Hence, their children vary in their behavior most especially in the pursuit of their educational endeavors. Their varied parenting styles manifest their children’s varied learning styles and attitudes toward education.
