This study investigates the relationship between permissive parenting and children’s discipline behavior in early childhood at RA Nahdlatus Shibyan, Banggle Dapurkejambon, Jombang. Using a purposive sampling method, 38 parents participated in the study. Two instruments were employed: a Discipline Behavior Scale completed by teachers and a Permissive Parenting Scale completed by parents. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s product-moment correlation. Results revealed a significant negative correlation between permissive parenting and children’s discipline (r = -0.502; p < 0.05). These findings indicate that permissive parenting is associated with lower levels of discipline among young children.

Keywords: permissive parenting, discipline behavior, early childhood.
