    An exploration of emotion-focused parenting of parents living in low and high socioeconomic communities, Kleinmond, Western Cape
    (University of the Western Cape, 2022) Februarie, Doreen; Roman, Nicolette
    A parent is responsible for caregiving to a child and is a significant other with whom a child has a long-term, unique, and irreplaceable emotional bond. Emotion-focused parenting is described as a practice in which an individual who is responsible for caregiving to a child interacts and engages with children in such a way to encourage them to demonstrate their emotions, affection, and understanding and acceptance thereof. Due to limited research conducted in South Africa on emotion-focused parenting practices, this study explored parents understanding of emotion-focused parenting, characteristics of emotion-focused parenting and emotion-focused parenting practices of parents living in low and high socioeconomic communities.
