CAI: Good morning ma’am Rechie and my dear classmates, I am the 4th group’s leader and for
this opportunity I will present to you our research title which is “ THE IMPACT OF PARENTA L
NEGLIGENCE AS A PARENTING STYLE TO THE PERSONAL GROWTH OF CHILDREN” and me together
with my group mates Abe Egipto and John Carlo Ocampo will give a short sneak peak about our
research paper since our fellow member Erico Manaog is unable to join us today because of the
loss of internet connection. So let’s move on to the discussion. Thankfully Erico readied a
powerpoint for a clearer presentation of our research.
For our study background, Parental negligence, improper parenting and enforcement of parents
lead to aggressiveness in a child. Parenting can be simply defined as "the process or the state of
being a parent". Once you have a child, you are involved in the process of parenting. A parent
should always be responsible for his/her child’s developed behavior and attitude since parents
are the first teachers of their children. Thus when a child grows up and often shows aggression
between fights and arguments in between the family, they may have adapted this behavior from
their parents.
And that leads us to the statement of the problem which aims to 5 unanswered questions. 1) is a
child’s behavior starts from within or from his/her parents? 2) Can abuse raise children properly?
3) How can improper parenting affect the future generations? 4) Is it necessary to use physical
harm than verbal communication as a way to raise children? 5) Is a child’s mental health
important to take care of?
And to acquire answers to these questions, our study will only limit the respondents, specifically
children who can be contacted through social media and messaging apps since the pandemic is
still going on and it is very unsafe to go elsewhere to conduct the study. Moreover, from the
gained answers from the children, this study will be able to discuss behavioral changes between
children especially in this pandemic wherein children are needed to stay at home and adjust to
the new normal. Thus the study will also be able to assess how the parents handle these
situations especially with their parenting style. Children from this generation are already
experience some behavioral changes especially from puberty. However, is it really from puberty
or is it because how their parents treat them? To move on, let me call on Carlo for the next
presentation.

Carlo: From the unanswered questions that Cai presented a while ago, it proves how this study is
significant since it can answer those questions. In addition, this study will be able to assess clearly
the experience of children and how they also handle these situations. Our study can call out
certain misconceptions in every household and it can help lessen these misconceptions in order
for every family to have a comfortable household. There are also people who will benefit in this
study: The children, since they’ll learn to be more open and not be scared to share their own
personal feelings and to have a good character-development; the parents, they’ll learn how
strong the effects of parenting does to their children and also themselves; to future researchers,
they can use our study for their research as a reference. Our research can also prove that
students can help in fixing common problems experienced in families with the use of proper
research studies.
Our study will also use these terms often and for anyone who’s unable to understand these
terms, we provided definitions for these terms respectfully from our chosen source. (basahin mo

1.) Improper- not in accord with propriety, modesty, good manners, or good taste
2.) Negligence- failure to exercise the care that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in like
circumstances
3.) Parenting- the taking care of someone in the manner of a parent
4.) Abuse- physical maltreatment
5.) Maltreatment- to treat cruelly or roughly
6.) Household- those who dwell under the same roof and compose a family.
7.) Neglect- the failure to meet a child's basic needs that leads to the most common type of child
abuse.
8.) Child-parent relationship- actions, emotions, and attitudes that is specific to a parent and a
child.
9.) Child Abuse- any intentional harm or mistreatment to a child under legal age or 18 years old
10.) Personal Growth- the ongoing process of understanding and developing oneself in order to
achieve one's fullest potential.

Our study was done with the help of published local and foreign literatures and also studies. Our
foreign literature is from Helen Altman Klein &Jeanne Ballantine’s book titled “For Parents
Particularly: Raising Competent Kids: The Authoritative Parenting Style.” And it is about the four

styles of parenting that are authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and neglectful. Our local
literature on the other hand is Quincy Garcia and Adrian Santiago’s publication named “Parenting
styles as correlates to self-esteem of underprivileged adolescents”. This was about creating a
parenting skills program proposed to the institution which will improve the parents' styles of
raising their children. Our related study is M. Hussain and M.A. Warr’s journal “Parental
negligence, improper parenting and enforcement of parents lead to child aggressiveness: A
study.” and The journal is about the lack of proper parenting is the primary cause of violent and
aggressive behavior in children because it is the responsibility of parents to provide every basic
need to child. For the next part Abe will present the synthesis.

Abe: Our research synthesis shows a quick summary of how out related literatures and studies
applied in our current study. As parents become detached to their children, the more children
isolate themselves by focusing on their gadgets on social media than engaging on activities. As
technology affects how children behave at home, parenting styles is also affected due to the
modernization. It is important for parents to constantly communicate with their children and ask
them how their day went where majority of these children’s experiences happen in school. The
kind of parenting style children grew up with can either have a negative and positive impact
towards their children. And as the generations pass by, parents can come up with different
patterns in controlling and supporting their children making way for modern parenting styles to
evolve.
For our theoretical framework, we made use of our own using a diverging radial and inside the
three circles are the theories that anchored out research. The theories are: Diana Baumrind
(1980) stated that there is a close relationship between the type of parenting style and children’s
behavior. Different parenting styles can lead to different child development and child outcomes.
In addition, according to Kempe (1962) states that child maltreatment is an individual based
pathology. Moreover, the Coercion theory (Patterson 1982; Reid, Patterson, & Snyder, 2002)
states that a parent and child in a conflict escalate with increasingly noxious behaviors, until one
person capitulates.
Our conceptual framework on the other hand is also made from our own, wherein our
independent variable is the perception among children about parental negligence in different
households. The dependent variable is the result of the interview that is about the respondent’s
own insight in what way they cope up with parental negligence, how it affects their mental
health, how they react with abuse and what is their own understanding about the factors of
parental negligence in children. The result of this study will also be the dependent variable.

Cai: For our research design, the method that we’ll use is the qualitative method, specifically with
the use of informal online interviews using conference or video calls in order to converse virtually
with the respondents.

Carlo: Our respondents for this study are children, much better if these children are family
members of our own since these children already have close ties with us, the researchers, in
order for them to answer our questions honestly.

Abe: Lastly, our research instrument used is a communication medium, like video and conference
calls to respect the community guidelines and to promote safety in conducting the study in the
midst of the pandemic.

Cai: Thank you Abe, Carlo, and also Erico for this presentation. That wraps up our short sneak
peak of our study and I hope everyone gained knowledge from our study. That’s all thank you 
