Background of the Study

Parenting styles are believed to play an important role in a child's life.

The parenting style of their parents determines the child's attitude in every
aspect of their development. Knowledge for parenting style has great
importance for the parents because they would be able to know on how to
discipline their children in the right way. The child's development is supported
by their parents’ interaction with their child (Breiner, Ford, & Gadsden, 2016).
Usually parenting style matters in raising a child, it is a way to develop a
child's attitude. (MOve 1 step 1)
In the Philippines, disciplining children are believed to be the accurate
way to mold them to become successful in the future, mostly concerning their
education. It is commonly advised to guide the children in every step of their
development. The parent-child relationship is known to have a huge effect on
most of the aspect of the child's growth. The child's perspective towards life is
dependent on how the child's parents approach them (Tremblay, Boivin, &
Peters, 2018). (move 1 step 2)
According to Morin (2018), raising a child is not as easy as it looks
because all the parents’ actions can affect a huge part of the child’s growth.
The parenting style of the parents can affect every child’s development. Moẻ,
Pazzaglia, Tressoldi, & Toso (2009) claimed that attitude is very important for
everyone because, without the right attitude, there is a low percentage of
achievement that can be done. Using Authoritarian Parenting style, the
expected aspects of the child are obedient and status-oriented for their
parents are strict when it comes to errors. In the Authoritative parenting style,
the child develops independence, self-control, and self-regulation because the
parents are very responsive when it comes to their child's needs. And in
Permissive Parenting, the child tends to struggle with self-regulation and self-
control because their parents make a little or no attempt to control and
discipline their child. And lastly, Uninvolved Parenting style where the parents
do not involve themselves with their child that results to having a delinquent
child, emotionally withdrawn that these children will feel fear or anxiety due to
lack of family support and they tend to be dependent to others (Cherry, 2018).
Some studies were conducted on the relationship between parenting
styles and students’ attitude towards study. In some case, the study of
Dornsbusch, Ritter, Leiderman, Roberts, and Fraleigh (2012) entitled “The
Relation of Parenting Style to Adolescent School Performance” provided
evidence that Baumbrind’s typology of parenting styles can successfully be
applied to adolescents and related to their academic performance in school.
The study revealed that the typology of parenting styles affects the
development of the child.
Additionally, the study entitled “The Relation of Parenting Style to School
Performance in Middle School Students” presented by Leykam (1999) aimed
to determine the relationship between the three parenting styles and the
academic achievement of the middle school students. The study concluded
that there was no significant relationship between authoritative parenting and
academic achievement. The result is the same with the authoritarian
parenting and permissive parenting between the academic achievements of
the middle school students. (move 1 step 3)
The researchers have found many studies that are related to parenting
style and students’ attitude towards study. Many studies are found in other
countries and the Philippines. However, there is no study conducted at
Central Bukidnon Institute regarding the parenting style of the parents
enrolling their children at the school. (move 2, step 1b)
In this paper, it identifies the relationship between parenting style and
students' attitude towards study. It demonstrates the number of degrees of
each level of parenting styles regarding: authoritative, authoritarian, and
permissive parenting. (move 3 step 1b)
