This study aims to explore the diff erent sources of parenting for preschool parents in Taiwan, and whether these parenting sources vary according to the parent's background. 18,972 young preschoolers from Taiwan were selected as research subjects. With an approximation of 0.5% random selection, 949 young children were selected, and 709 valid questionnaires were received back, with a valid retrieval proportion of 76.2%. The outcomes were concluded as follows: (1) The parenting sources of preschool parents are categorized as friends, education professionals and books, newspapers and broadcast TV, and life experiences or other infl uences. Among these factors, life experiences and other infl uences play the most signifi cant role. (2) When compared with fathers, there is a signifi cant diff erence with mothers placing more emphasis on "friends" and education professionals". Parents younger than 34 years old emphasize newspapers and broadcast TV" and "life experience or others infl uences" more than parents older than 45 years old. (3) The higher the parents' educational degree, the more emphasis on "education professionals and books", and "life experience or others infl uence". These conclusions can serve as references for academia. Suggestions for future research are also proposed.
