Parenting Management of Early Childhood Learning Independence

Abstract

The field is related to parenting and child independence. Namely, the parenting style applied by each parent is different, causing the diversity of children's independence in Sanata Bhakti Kindergarten. In addition, parents are less aware that the family environment is one of the educational centres that can improve children's educational success. Based on the partial results of the study, it was found that a) there was a significant influence between authoritarian parenting on early childhood independence of 0.03, which is less than the alpha value = 5% (0.03 <0.05). With the result t count > t table (4.034 > 2.056). b) there is a significant influence between democratic parenting styles on early childhood independence of 0.00 which is less than the value of alpha = 5% (0.03 <0.05). With the result t count > t table (4.708 > 2.056). c) there is a significant influence between democratic parenting styles on early childhood independence of 0.02 which is less than the value of alpha = 5% (0.02 <0.05). With the results of t count > t table (2.689 > 2.056). Based on the results of the study simultaneously obtained a calculated F value of 549.561> 2.39 (F table), this proves that authoritarian, democratic and permissive factors simultaneously have a positive and significant influence on early childhood independence in Sanata Bhakti Kindergarten with a coefficient of determination (R2) 98.3% while the remaining 1.7% is influenced by other factors not mentioned. The conclusion from this study is that children's independence can be increased if parents pay more attention to the factors that influence it.
