ABSTRACT
Nowadays, we live in a modern world which has been engulfed by a wave of technology. The changes in the modern world have brought some alterations to our life. The good side brought by the technology is that our life becomes better and better. However, the morality in our children is found deteriorating. Therefore, the paper is going to study, to which extent the parents' roles and parenting styles are in shaping the children's moral development. The data was collected from online database including ScienceDirect, Wiley, ResearchGate, Procedia and Google. Both qualitative and quantitative studies, which were published from year 2009 to 2018 were reviewed systematically and synthesized in a narrative format. The findings of this study were that the parents should play their roles in shaping the children's morality. They should involve themselves in their family, being role models instilling religious beliefs, communicating more often with their children and providing bonding time for their children with their grandparents. For parenting styles, the results showed that the most effective parenting style was authoritative parenting followed by authoritarian. Both the permissive parenting styles were ineffective in encouraging children's morality.
