Abstract

Parenting at every stage of a child’s development can create happiness as well as challenges for parents. When parents feel stressful and lack of satisfaction in parenting, parents can experience parental stress. Parental stress plays a role in parenting practice. This study aims to determine the role of parental stress in parenting practices. Data were collected from 134 parents who have middle-childhood children in Bandung. This study used Alabama Parenting Questionnaire (APQ) Short-Form questionnaire to measure parenting practices and Parental Stress Scale (PSS) to measure parental stress. The researcher validated the questionnaire using CFA and tested the hypothesis using multiple regression analysis. The results showed significant relationship between two variables and inter-variable. The lack of satisfaction aspect in parental stress predicts a positive parenting and parental stress aspect predicts poor supervision. This shows that the parental stress aspect: parental stress and lack of parental satisfaction, gives contribution to parenting practices in middle-childhood children. This study provides a new perspective, in which the parental stress can predict poor supervision and lack of satisfaction in parenting. Further research can be carried out by examining individual child differences and parent’s belief as a moderator.
