<![CDATA[This study was motivated by differences in socioeconomic conditions within society that were assumed to be associated with differences in parenting styles applied to early childhood. This research aimed to examine differences in parental parenting styles based on socioeconomic status among early childhood in Kampung Bulakan, Bitung Jaya Village, Tangerang Regency. A quantitative comparative approach was employed, involving 100 parent respondents with early-childhood-aged children selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using parenting-style and socioeconomic-status questionnaires that had undergone validity and reliability testing, supported by village-profile documentation. Because the Shapiro-Wilk normality test indicated that part of the data were not normally distributed, data were analyzed using the non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test with the assistance of IBM SPSS Statistics version 27. The results showed that the low, middle, and upper socioeconomic groups all tended to apply a democratic parenting style. The Kruskal-Wallis test yielded an H value of 1.868 with an Asymp. Sig. of 0.393 (> 0.05), so that H0 was accepted and H1 was rejected. These findings confirm that there is no statistically significant difference in parental parenting styles based on socioeconomic status in Kampung Bulakan, Bitung Jaya Village, Tangerang Regency, indicating that socioeconomic status is not the sole determinant of parenting style.]]>
