- Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic period presents its own challenges for parents, especially in providing care for their children. Parents and children must always carry out various activities at home because they will be very vulnerable to being exposed to the Covid-19 virus if they force their activities outside the home. This study was conducted to find out the perceptions of parents in providing care for their children and what obstacles parents experience in providing care for their children during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study uses a case study research design with a research sample of three participants in a Kindergarten in Purwakarta Indonesia. The data were gathered through interviewing the research participants. The result of the study indicates that parents provide care to children during the Covid-19 pandemic, in general, including the type of permissive parenting. Parents tend not to be involved in regulating their children’s behavior. The obstacles experienced by parents are difficult when accompanying children in doing school assignments. The results of the study found that children play with gadgets all day without parental control, and children will be angry and cry if they are not given gadgets. Special education is needed regarding the type of good parenting and a variety of fun activities with children during the Covid-19 pandemic.
