Abstract : One of the key factors for students’ holistic character development is the parenting styles used by parents and guardians. This study investigates students’ perceptions of how parenting styles influence their character development. The study utilized a descriptive-correlational quantitative design, surveying 118 Grade 10 students from St. John Berchmans High School Incorporated through stratified random sampling. The data were collected using a researcher- made survey questionnaire. Furthermore, findings revealed that (1) the majority of the respondents were female and lived with authoritative parents, (2) respondents perceived that parenting styles positively impact students’ holistic character development, fostering growth across psychological, social, intellectual, physical, and spiritual domains, and (3) there are no significant differences between the perceived effects of parenting styles and the respondents’ demographic profiles. These results underscore the essence of inclusive parenting in supporting students' holistic character development.

Keywords : Parenting Styles, Character Development, Holistic Development, Inclusive Parenting, Authoritative Parenting.
