Abstract

Covid-19 requires parents to learn from home nurturing independence in their children through parenting. During this pandemic, parents play a major role in encouraging children's growth and development, which implies that most children's activities are carried out at home with their parents. A significant impact can be felt by children if the family instills the nature of independence which is shown from the habits of the parents. In Indonesia, parents who do not succeed in raising their children have a proportion of cases of parental stimulation in terms of social skills and independence of preschool age children of 58.09%. In 2010, the profile of children's growth and development health problems showed 54.03% of the 3,634,505 children had good socialization and independence skills, still below the 90% target based on the Indonesian Ministry of Health. This study aims to determine the relationship between parenting patterns during the covid-19 pandemic on the independence of children aged 5-6 years in Tangerang City.

Baiturrahman, research time from February-August. From the results of the univariate analysis, the most parenting patterns were democratic parenting as many as 69 people (86.3%), and the most independent category was the independent category as many as 70 people (87.5%).
