Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to explore the different parenting preferences of parents depending on their educational background, social status, and parenting style. In this research paper, the target population consisted of 949 respondents having preschool children in Taiwan. The researcher collected 709 valid questionnaires with a response rate of 76.2%. The findings of this study showed that (a) most parents emphasize theme of the nurture regarding how they can be involved in developing their child both physically and mentally during early childhood; (b) Mothers aged 30-39 years old, and fathers aged 45 years old and above tend to pay more attention to the child’s physical and mental development. And also, Southern Taiwanese parents give more importance to nurturing their children’s talents and schoolwork than the Northern Taiwanese parents. (c) These different nurturing emphases vary according to educational attainment. The reason for this is that the educational level of parents in the southern part of Taiwan is lower.
