Parenting style represents methods used by parents in the upbringing of their offspring. It plays a pivotal role in constructing and building personality, mental abilities, attitudes, and children's behavior. It is also very helpful in making children self-confident and improves their decision-making skills. Although, as it is known to all, the parents are first tutors or mentors of their children, it means the pattern of parenting must have some influence on the child. Furthermore, parents' educational status must influence parenting patterns because education improves and enhances parents' understanding, managing power, decision making, etc. So, the present study aimed to explore the relationship between parental education and parenting style. The present study was conducted in Indore city, and 500 children with their parents were treated as a sample. Purposive sampling techniques were used for sample selection.

Collected data was systematically tabulated, and inferences were drawn through the statistical analysis. The research reveals that there is a significant relationship between parental education and the parenting style of parents.
