Parenting is one of the factors that significantly shapes the behavior and character of children. Stress is defined as pressure, tension, or unpleasant disturbances that come from outside of a person. Stress can be influenced by work, development, family, and so on. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine the corellation between parenting method and the stress level of 10^th grader students of SMAN 1 BATUJAJAR during covid-19 pandemic. This study used a cross sectional approach and statistical analysis by using Kolmogorov-Smirnov. The sampling technique used in this study was a random sampling technique with 81 respondents who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results of the univariate analysis showed that almost all respondents, namely 76 students (93.8%) received democratic parenting, some others, namely 4 students (4.9%) received authoritarian parenting, and 1 student (1.2%) received permissive parenting. The result of univariative analysis also showed that 43 students (56.8%) experienced mild stress, 25 students (30.9%) experienced moderate stress, 4 students (4.9%) experienced severe stress, 5 students (6.2%) experienced normal stress, and 1 student (1.2%) experienced very heavy stress. Meanhilw, the results of the bivariate analysis obtained a p-value of 0.001 < = 0.05, which means Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected. In conclusion, the study shows that there is a corelation between parenting pattern and the stress level of 10^th grader students of SMAN 1 BATUJAJAR during covid-19 pandemic.
