Random and purposive sampling technique was used to select sample from the target population. structured questionnaire was developed for data collection. The bio-data information of the respondents was analysed by the use of simple percentage. Pearson Product Moment Correlation Statistical test was used to ascertain relationship between the variables at 0.05 level of significance in null hypothesis 1,2 and 3. ANOVA statistical test was used to determine the difference among the variables at 0.05 level of significance in null hypothesis 4. Findings revealed that parent?s use of authoritarian and permissive disciplinary styles influence students? truant behaviour with mean attendance (2.60>2.5) for absent in school and (2.39>2.5) absent in school. Also the two hypotheses were not retained with calculated value greater than the table value (.253 > .195) and (.511 > .195) respectively. Parental use of democratic disciplinary style influences students? regular school attendance with mean attendance (3.21 > 2.5) for present in school and the hypothesis was not retained with calculated value greater than table value (.204 > .195). Significant difference found existed in the students? school attendance whose parents adopted either authoritarian with mean attendance of 2.60 against democratic with mean attendance of 3.21 and permissive with 2.39 mean attendance.
