Child-Rearing
• Follows societal norms and expectations• Style largely influenced by individual
experiences as a child• Vary with age, sex, birth order of child,
size of family and stage in family life cycle, social class, rural/urban residence
• Not static – change as society changes
![Page 9: Filipino Child-Rearing Patterns](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050905/55216b80497959842f8b55c5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Child-Rearing
• Generally (Ventura, 1985)– Nurturing, Affectionate– Indulgent, Supportive– Tendency to be overprotective– Enforcement of discipline becomes
stricter as child grows up.

Child-Rearing Patterns
• Parental strictness depends on site, occasion and birth order.
• Gender of child– Boys are allowed to stay out later– Girls expected to be at home most of
the time– Girls more restricted interaction with
opposite sex

Child-Rearing Patterns
• Adolescence stage passes unnoticed except for circumcision and first menstruation– Generally not a turbulent period
characterized by tension, rebellion, and confusion as in the West
![Page 12: Filipino Child-Rearing Patterns](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050905/55216b80497959842f8b55c5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Traditional Child-Rearing
• Restrictive pattern of parenting• Corporal punishment believed to be
effective – most common method used in instilling discipline (Mendez, et al. 1984)
• Mother assumes bulk of responsibility.

Traditional Child-Rearing
• Fathers tend to fall into procreator and dilettante types (Tan 1994)– Main role: provider and disciplinarian– Limited role in child-rearing
• Family – most influential social group in the child’s life
![Page 14: Filipino Child-Rearing Patterns](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050905/55216b80497959842f8b55c5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Modern Age Child-Rearing
• More permissive pattern of parenting• Mothers’ roles expanded beyond
usual domestic roles• Fathers more involved in child-
rearing– Nurturance as their primary
responsibility rather than the provider (Dalisay 1983)
![Page 15: Filipino Child-Rearing Patterns](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050905/55216b80497959842f8b55c5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Modern Age Child-Rearing
• Solo-parenthood more common• Child abuse is a growing concern• Peer group as role model and source
of values for the young
![Page 16: Filipino Child-Rearing Patterns](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050905/55216b80497959842f8b55c5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

IMPLICATIONS OF CHANGE IN CHILD-REARING PATTERNS
![Page 19: Filipino Child-Rearing Patterns](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050905/55216b80497959842f8b55c5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Maternal Employment
Children of employed mothers were more egalitarian in their sex role concepts and perceived their mothers as more affectionate compared to the children of unemployed mothers (Santiago-dela Cruz, 1986: 29).
![Page 20: Filipino Child-Rearing Patterns](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050905/55216b80497959842f8b55c5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Maternal Employment
The more positive the mother feels about her working, the less negative impact her employment has on the child (Davidson and Moore, 1992: 444).
![Page 21: Filipino Child-Rearing Patterns](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050905/55216b80497959842f8b55c5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Maternal Employment
Children of dual-earning couples appear to express high degrees of confidence, resourcefulness, and independence, and instead of being deprived and neglected, demonstrate more positive social, psychological, and interpersonal characteristics than do the children of mothers who do not work outside the home (Lindsey, 1997:202).
![Page 22: Filipino Child-Rearing Patterns](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050905/55216b80497959842f8b55c5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Maternal Employment
Inconsistent, unsupportive, and unresponsive care fosters uncooperative and problematic behavior, irrespective of mother’s employment (Belsky cited in Eshleman, 1997:127).
![Page 23: Filipino Child-Rearing Patterns](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050905/55216b80497959842f8b55c5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Solo-Parenthood
Adolescents who grew up under the supervision of their father alone exhibited greater propensity towards some risk behaviors particularly drug use, commercial sex and premarital sex (Cruz, Laguna and Raymundo, 2001).
![Page 24: Filipino Child-Rearing Patterns](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050905/55216b80497959842f8b55c5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Migration
Añonuevo, Estrella Dizon and Añonuevo, Augustus, eds, (2002). Coming Home: Women, Migration and Reintegration Indifference and withdrawal of affection
from the biological mother to their surrogate mothers among pre-school children – no bonds established yet;
Children of OFWs have difficulty in making a decision since they had to consult their guardians which in turn may not be able to really decide and wait for the approval of the children’s parents.
![Page 25: Filipino Child-Rearing Patterns](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050905/55216b80497959842f8b55c5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Migration
Migrant children reported experiencing difficulties and longing for their absent parents, but they also acknowledged that they learned to be more independent in the process (Asis, Maruja M.B., 2000 “Migration and Families in Asia”).
The increasing urbanward mobility of the young population especially among the female has also led to greater independence and weakening parental control. Living away from home has emerged as the most important variable linked to premarital sex risks among Filipino young adults with a higher likelihood of engaging in such practice noted among those who have lived away from home (Umali, 1999; and Raymundo and Lusterio, 1996).

Permissiveness and Liberalism
In Filipino setting, adolescents who perceived their parents to hold liberal attitudes exhibited increased likelihood of engaging not only in premarital sex (Cruz, 2001; Raymundo and Lusterio, 1996) but in commercial sex as well as in smoking, drinking and drug use (Cruz, Laguna and Raymundo, 2001).
