Smart School (pseudonym) a kindergarten in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, is established based on an ideology in which students are stimulated not only to be successful in their academic achievements but also to develop their positive behavior. However, some parents report that they still encounter some problems related to the behavior of their children at home. This case study research explores what can be the reasons for behavior problems that happen to children to find the possible solution. The data was collected by using observation and interviews. Findings showed that inconsistency rules as the result of permissive parenting style implemented by parents can be the reason of children’s behavior problems. Therefore, it is suggested teachers should communicate with parents to find information whether the progress of their children’s behavior at school can also be seen at home. Collaboration between the school and parents is also needed, particularly in the consistency of rules between the school and the children’s home to encourage the development of positive behavior and to reduce children’s behavioral problems.
