Parenting style is fundamental to the development of the pre-schoolers socio-emotional skill development. Therefore, this study critically looked at the relationship between parenting styles (Authoritarian, Authoritative, Neglectful and permissive) and Pre-schoolers socio-emotional skill Acquisition in Ilorin East Local Government Area of Kwara state. The study adopted correlational research design. The population comprised of all the pre-schoolers in Ilorin East LGA. There are 151 Preschools and 8,932 pre-schoolers both in public and private preschools in Ilorin East LGA. Stratified and proportional sampling techniques were used to select 15 pre-schools using 181 pre-schoolers and 181 parents from both private and public preschools. Two instruments were used for data collection namely; Parenting Styles Questionnaire (PSQ) and pre-schooler’s socio-emotional skill rating scale (PSESRS). The PSQ and PSESRS were subjected to both face and content validity. Cronbach Alpha was used to ascertain the reliability of the PSQ and PSESRS and co-efficient values of 0.80 and 0.89 were obtained for the two instruments. The data collected were subjected to both inferential and descriptive statistics. The research questions were answered using frequency count, mean, percentage scores, and the hypotheses were tested using Pearson Product Moment Correlation and independent t-test at 0.05 level of significance. The study revealed that the most commonly adopted parenting style of pre-schoolers was authoritarian parenting style with weighted average mean score of 2.930. The level of pre-schoolers socio-emotional skill is moderate with weighted average mean score of 2.27. The result also revealed that there was no significant relationship between an authoritarian parenting style and pre-schoolers socio-emotional skill development(r =0.11;p<0.05) There was no significant relationship between authoritative parenting style and pre-schoolers socio-emotional skill development (r=0.04;p<0.05).There was no significant relationship between permissive parenting style and pre-schoolers’ socio-emotional skill development (r = 0.04; p<0.05). There was no significant relationship between neglectful parenting style and pre-schoolers socio-emotional skill development (r =0.06;p<0.05). In conclusion, it is clear that, the most commonly adopted parenting style in Ilorin East Local Government Area was authoritarian and the level of Pre-schoolers socio-emotional skill was average. It was therefore recommended that Authoritarian parenting styles should be discouraged because it increases negative outcomes such as children’s anxiety and depression. Government, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOS), religious organisations, Parent Teachers Associations (PTA) should also organize seminars, workshop, and training for parents in a bid to have Clear understanding of parenting style that could stimulate socio-emotional skill Acquisition.
