Abstract

In general, people still think that success in life is determined by merely intellectual intelligence and ignores the role of other intelligences including intrapersonal intelligence. A person's ability to understand,  adapt, and determine the best for oneself  is parts os intrapersonal intelligence. This intelligence must be grown properly so that children can realize their existence and make the right choices based on that understanding. Parents through the applied parenting have an important role in their children's intrapersonal intelligence. The formulation of the problem is whether there is an effect of parenting on the intrapersonal intelligence of pre-school aged children at TKIT AL-Uswah Tuban for the 2020/2021 academic year. The purpose of this study is to describe the effect of parenting on the intrapersonal intelligence of pre-school age children at TKIT Al-Uswah Tuban for the academic year 2020/2021. The Kendall's Tau correlation test with the SPSS program was applied as a correlational quantitative research methodology, random sampling, questionnaire and documentation data collection methods, as well as hypothesis testing analysis. The results of data analysis reveal that the Kendall's Tau test value is 0.593 with a significance level of 0.000 or less than 0.05 so that the null hypothesis is rejected and the research hypothesis is accepted, it means that there is a close relationship between parenting patterns and intrapersonal intelligence in pre-school age children.
