Parenting Styles are one of the vital factors that can improve behavioral problems of the Maguindanaon pupils. This study investigated the parenting styles and its influence to the behavioral problems of pupils.

Descriptive-correlative types of research design were utilized in this study. It involved fifty five (55) randomly selected Grade VI pupils in Dimatingkal-Kamid Elementary School during the school year 2014-2015. Adapted questionnaires were used as instrument for collecting the data. Frequency distribution, weighted mean and Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient were used to treat the gathered data.

            The findings of the investigation indicated that parents sometimes practice different parenting styles and pupils sometimes encountered behavioral problems. Moreover, there is no significant relationship between parenting styles and aggressive behaviors of pupils. Furthermore, this study concludes that the parents use different parenting styles to a moderate extent, while the pupils have moderate level of behavioral problems.

The parenting styles do not influence the behavioral problems encountered by the pupils. Hence, this study recommends that the teachers should create more interesting activities for the pupils to socialize with other children and classmates.
