Abstract: Research has indicated that social competence of preschool children is largely a function of parenting style. Studies have shown that authoritative parenting style, when compared to authoritarian and permissive parenting styles, is generally most effective in producing children who are socially mature and self-reliant. In addition, past research has indicated that the educational level achieved by the parent is a good predictor of the parent's tendency to be authoritarian with authoritarianism decreasing as the years of education of the parents increase.
