Parenting style practices in assisting preschool children’s communicative development need to be supported by all parties especially parents. This study aims to identify parenting style practices in relation to preschool children’s communicative development. The respondents were parents of preschoolers from Kuantan, a district in Pahang. This study is based on quantitative research and survey study design. Samples involved 281 parents of 5 and 6 years old preschoolers, using simple random sampling method. Samples were gathered through a survey of questionnaire instruments answered via Google Form. The instrument responses were measured using the Likert scale, on the scale of 1 - 5. The data was then analyzed using the Statistical Package For the Social Science (SPSS) application and the outcomes were presented in the form of frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation. The result of the study shows that there is significant difference in communication among the authoritative, authoritarian and permissive parenting style. Parents of preschool children should adopt a suitable parenting style in raising their children to ensure that they receive the love and care that they need to support proper growth and development.
