Abstract:

The researchers hoped to find new themes or ideas in the reviews of studies on parenting practices that emerged as a result of the pandemic. The study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta- Analyses (PRISMA) statement guidelines. A systematic search of the studies was searched online through ERIC, PubMed, and Researchgate with parenting, parenting style, parenting practices, personality disorder, pre-pandemic, pandemic, Covid-19, and psychopathology as search terms. Same keywords were used for all databases for the search strategy. Participants, language, and year of publication were considered while research design, sample size, and locale did not affect inclusion. After screening, a total of 24 from the 77 screened publications originally identified were included in the review. Four key themes were extracted from the reviewed articles to reflect the emerging parenting practices as a result of the pandemic.Results revealed the following themes on parenting practices during pandemic presented in four (4) key themes: 1) Parenting with empathy and adaptive response; 2)Positive parenting with involvement; 3) Parenting Styles Can Make or Break; and 4) Parental condition as risk or protective factors.The researchers concluded that parenting studies reviewed during the pandemic period revealed the association of the parents’ ability to adapt to changes and engage in empathy towards the child, ability to provide positive care and involvement, to add warmth on the practice of permissive parenting style, and the experience of parental anxiety or distress, on the child’s experiences during online classes as well as the risk of depression and other behavioral outcomes.
