At preschool age, it can be said as a period of child socialization. One of the factors that influence the social development of children is parenting.

This study used a correlation analytic design with a cross-sectional approach with a sample of 38 respondents selected by simple random sampling. Collecting data on parenting variables using a structured questionnaire and social development using a Vineland Social Maturity Scale (VSMS) questionnaire.
