<![CDATA[This study was motivated by the moral behavior of several Grade C students at SDN 18 Padang Kunyik, Agam Regency, which had not fully reflected positive moral values, such as talking during lessons, showing a lack of respect toward teachers and peers, and being less obedient to their parents. This study aimed to examine the relationship between parenting styles and students' morality. A quantitative correlational design was employed. The population consisted of all 25 Grade C students, comprising 12 fifth-grade and 13 sixth-grade students. Since the population was small, all students were selected as the sample using the total sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and observations. Parenting style was measured using authoritarian, democratic, and permissive parenting indicators, while students' morality was measured through indicators of morality toward the family and the community. Data were analyzed using the Pearson Product Moment correlation technique. The results showed that parenting styles and students' morality were both categorized as good. Hypothesis testing yielded a significance value of 0.001 (<0.05), indicating a positive and significant relationship between parenting styles and students' morality. These findings emphasize the important role of parents in supporting children's moral development.]]>
