Abstract
Early studies proposed that parents are in charge of their children's emotional and social development and that a child's home environment shapes certain attitudes in him that are aided or hampered by his experiences at school. in today's world, a lot of the good attitudes that parents teach their children at home are hampered by some of the experiences they have outside of the family and at school. As a result, these experiences lead to youngsters having more trouble in school and adjusting to their social environment. The study applied the ex-post facto design. Students involved in the study include 368 senior secondary school students. The questionnaire served as the primary tool for data gathering. One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and the t-test were used to evaluate the generated data. The results showed that parental styles have a substantial impact on their children's social adjustment, whereas parents' educational backgrounds had no significant impact on their children's social adjustment in the state. This study would be beneficial to parents, teachers and students. Based on the findings it will enlighten parents, students and teachers that parental styles and parental educational level greatly influence children social adjustment.
