Abstract: It is established that a good foundation at an early stage of development through appropriate employment of parenting styles positively affects a person’s growth. However, parenting is usually associated with “mothering†or how mothers rear or raise their children, creating gaps in the other half of parenting: the fathers. This study was conducted to know the most prevalent fathering styles of the fathers of successful young professionals. The researcher asked 11 young professionals, meaning they were currently employed and finished college or have a baccalaureate degree, to answer 2 interview questions that will describe their fathers’ rearing. The respondents were also asked to answer the PSS or the Parenting Scenario Scale created by Ribeiro (2009). It will allow the researcher to know the parenting styles of the fathers. The researcher concluded that out of the four parenting styles, the authoritative parenting style is the most prevalent and it matched with how the respondents describe their fathers’ rearing.
