“… Pieh et al (2020) ont cependant établi un lien important pendant le confinement entre la prévalence de symptômes dépressifs et une qualité de relation de couple négative (35 % versus 13 % lorsque la relation est évaluée comme positive), ce qui montre la nécessité pour le bien-être de toute la famille de prendre soin du couple malgré les difficultés. L’étude de Balenzano et al (2020) montre, pour les familles italiennes ayant un enfant âgé de 2 à 14 ans, une augmentation du stress parental en raison de l’isolement social et de la persistance des inégalités entre les sexes dans la répartition du travail non rémunéré, ce qui pénalise les mères. Notre étude suggère que ces inégalités engendrent davantage de fatigue et d’usure ainsi qu’un sentiment de solitude des mères dans leur couple.…”

“…Si Evans et al (2020) l’ont fait, leur étude – en ciblant un large panel de familles australiennes d’enfants âgés de zéro à 18 ans – n’a pas différencié les jeunes enfants des plus âgés et l’effet particulier de la pandémie sur les familles concernées par cette jeune tranche d’âge « 0–6 ans ». Plus proche de la France, l’étude italienne de Balenzano et al (2020) a exploré les effets de l’isolement social du confinement sur les familles italiennes en termes d’équilibre travail-famille, de fonctionnement familial et de parentage de 104 parents (80,8 % de mères) ayant au moins un enfant âgé de 2 à 14 ans. Malgré le caractère exploratoire de leur recherche, les auteurs ont fait le choix d’utiliser des questionnaires standardisés pour interroger les relations familiales (la Family Environment Scale – Real Form (FES ; Moos & Moos, 1994 )), limitant ainsi la perception subjective des familles.…”

“…A German study found that parents, including those of preschool children, indicated positive aspects such as a slower pace of life and increased family time [ 8 ]. In Italy, parents reported rediscovering the value of being together, and improving cohesion, expressiveness and positive parenting [ 30 ]. Despite all the negative effects caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, interventions should seek to sustain the positive changes for families.…”

The Covid-19 pandemic has been recognised to affect families’ socio-emotional well-being. Collecting the views of families in diverse socio-economic contexts can contribute to understanding their specific needs and resources in relation to the Covid-19 pandemic. The overarching objective of the current research was to explore the views and experiences of families in relation to the Covid-19 pandemic, who were living in the Republic of Ireland, including in areas designated as disadvantaged. In Study 1, the objective was to explore changes, difficulties, and concerns experienced by parents of children up to six years old during the pandemic, and related associations with socio-demographic characteristics. Data were collected from 168 parents/carers via an online questionnaire, and examined using conceptual content analysis. The most frequently identified experiences related to restrictions, social isolation, negative impacts on parents’ emotional and psychological well-being, negative impacts on children’s emotional well-being and development, concerns with physical health, uncertainty about the future, and positive changes regarding family time and activities. Associations were found with parents’ age and work situation, and family’s income and composition. In Study 2, the objective was to explore the views of children, parents, and service providers about the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on families’ life, and relevant supports. Data were collected from 50 children aged between eight and 17 years old, 17 parents, and 20 service providers through focus group discussions, and examined using thematic analysis. The participants reported experiences related to challenges with online education, uncertainty regarding children’s education, food poverty, and children’s socio-emotional health. The findings of both studies reinforced the importance of implementing measures to promote parents’ and children’s socio-emotional well-being, combat educational inequalities, and ensure economic and employment security.

“…Thus, it is necessary to investigate the parenting styles of preschool children among Chinese and Bumiputera parents in Sabah, as well as to examine the association between parental education level and parenting styles. Parents have to face the rising unemployment and financial insecurity which influence parenting and child-parent relationship in the impact of COVID-19 (Balenzano, Moro, & Girardi, 2020;Hiraoka & Tomoda, 2020;Wu et al, 2020). Moreover, a study in Singapore indicated that the pandemic effect on parenting stress which indirectly influenced parenting styles and child-parent relationship (Chung et al, 2020).…”

Several studies on child-parent relationships in Malaysia have been conducted before COVID-19. After the pandemic, most child-parent relationship studies were conducted abroad, such as Singapore, Greece, Belgium, and the United States. However, there are no published studies that investigated the child-parent relationship among Chinese and Bumiputera parents with preschool children in Sabah. This study aims to examine the difference in parenting styles between Chinese and Bumiputera parents with preschool children in Sabah. As well, to examine the influence of parenting styles on child-parent relationships. In the pilot study, 49 parents of preschool-aged children were surveyed. The reliability and validity are tested and convinced. This study would like to provides parents, educators, and the government with a preliminary picture of parenting styles and child-parent relationships to develop a strategy to improve or adjust early childhood education in the post-pandemic.
