Abstract
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.
