Long Distance Parenting in Early Childhood

Abstract

Parenting style is a main factor in stimulating the aspects of children’s growth and development since their early childhood. Parents are expected to live together and cooperate with each other in taking care and educating their children. However, parents with Long Distance Relationships have changed their parenting style due to several factors, namely demands of economic needs, career, and education. These factors have forced them to live apart from their children but they are demanded to keep playing their role as parents. This study aims at describing the importance of parenting style for early childhood implemented by parents in a Long Distance Relationship (LDR). This study employed library research design by studying numerous literatures. The result of this study is expected to be significantly used as reference for parents in a Long-Distance Relationship (LDR) to gain information regarding the importance of parenting style for early childhood.
