Abstract

The learning process in PAUD during the pandemic is carried out online through BDR
(Belajar Dari Rumah) program. The role of parents in BDR learning is very important for the
success of children's learning. The success of parents in assisting the child's learning process
is influenced by the parenting skills they have. This study aims to identify parenting skills
during the pandemic in the DIY and surrounding areas. The research method used in this
research is descriptive quantitative method. The research subjects were parents with early
children who live in the DIY and surrounding areas. Subjects consist of 490 parents.
Parenting skills scale was developed based on five aspects of parenting skills, namely
interaction, empathic communication, application of discipline, problem solving, and
psychosocial support. The reliability of the scale is 0.841. Data analysis used SPSS 20
Programme for Windows. The results showed that parenting skills in the low category were
12.6%, medium 72.3%, and high 14.9%. There is no significant difference in parenting skills
between fathers and mothers, but if viewed from the level of parent education it can be
concluded that the higher the education level of parents, the higher the parenting skills.
