ABSTRACT
The study was a descriptive survey carried out to find the effect of parental child rearing style on self - esteem and school attendance of Junior High School students in the Sefwi Wiawso Municipality. A sample of 340 students reported on their parents’ parenting style using Parental Authority Questionnaire. Data on self - esteem was collected using the Rosenberg Self - - Esteem Scale. A record of school attendance was taken from students’ school attendance registers from sampled schools. A multiple Regression analysis was conducted to assess the effects of parenting style on self - esteem and school attendance. Also, a Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Coefficient was applied for the relationship between self - esteem and school attendance. The result showed that authoritarian parenting style was the predominant parenting style and predicted negatively with level of self - esteem and school attendance. A significant large correlation was found between self - esteem and school attendance. Also, authoritative parenting style has a positive prediction for self - esteem and school attendance. Implications, limitations and future research opportunities are discussed. The study concluded that parenting style plays an important role in influencing levels self - esteem and school attendance.
