description This study examined the influence of parenting styles and social support on child-parent relationship among Chinese mothers of preschoolers in Penampang, Sabah. The research also examined the relationship between maternal education level and parenting styles. This was a quantitative study that utilized an online questionnaire to collect data. The study employed the method of cluster sampling to select 165 Chinese mothers of preschoolers in Penampang district as the sample. To assess parenting styles, social support and child-parent relationship, the Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire (PSDQ), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Supports (MSPSS), and Child-Parent Relationship Scale-Short Form (CPRS-SF) were used, respectively. The collected data were analysed using Pearson’s correlation and multiple regression. The results revealed maternal education was positive related to authoritative parenting style and negative related to authoritarian style.
