Subject
Children, Discipline, Parenting skills, Prospective parents
Description
Data show that 60% of children aged 2 to 14 have experienced physical punishment from their parents.
Based on data from the Simfoni PPA KemenPPPA (Online Information System for the Protection of Women and
Children), in 2023, there were 29,884 cases of violence recorded throughout Indonesia. Objective: This study
aimed to enhance the parenting skills of prospective parents in the Bantul region to prevent the use of negative
disciplinary methods on children.This study employed a mixed-methods design with a Sequential Explanatory
approach. The quantitative phase used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest design,
involving 37 prospective parents as the sample. The qualitative phase utilised Participatory Action Research,
recruiting a sample of 5 couples of prospective parents, 2 counsellors, and 1 policy maker. The average attitude
score of prospective parents before the intervention was 62.11, which increased to 80.38 after the intervention. A
significant p-value of 0.000 < 0.05 indicates the rejection of the null hypothesis. This implies that the intervention
concerning negative disciplinary measures on children has a significant impact on the attitudes of prospective
parents. Several challenges faced by prospective parents in enhancing parenting skills include a lack of experience
in child-rearing, mental unpreparedness for parenthood, and limited time due to work and other activities. The
government needs to formulate policies that encourage positive parenting approaches and non-violent discipline, and launch awareness campaigns to educate the public about the dangers of negative disciplinary measures and the importance of positive parenting methods.
