Abstract

Parents are faced with the task of caring for children with special needs who need help in learning and daily activities, so mental readiness is needed to regulate emotional regulation well. Parental parenting at home is very important in providing education and attention to children. Parenting, especially for children with special needs, is not about pampering the child but must train and develop the child's independence. This research aims to determine the relationship between parenting patterns and emotional regulation of parents who have children with special needs at SLB Negeri Slawi. This quantitative research had a correlation design using purposive sampling, involving 43 parents who accompanied or waited for their children to study at SLB during the data collection period. Data was collected using the Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire (PSDQ) and Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) questionnaires and analyzed using the Spearman Rank Non-Parametric Test. The research results show that the rho = 0.282 and the obtained p value = 0.000, which means H0 is accepted. This shows that there is no relationship between parenting styles and emotional regulation of parents who have children with special needs at the SLB Negeri Slawi. Further research needs to be carried out by analyzing other factors that can influence parenting patterns and emotional regulation.
