The purpose of this study is to analyze the meaning, effect, signification, multiplicity of the
concept of parenthood, and its impact on young children’s culture. In this study, the researcher
employed content analysis with unobtrusive measures to collect and elaborate upon parenthood related
literatures.
At World War II, because of the male, the father leaving for the war, the dynamic change of the
family structure affected the development and education of children. Many educators started paying
attention to family issues. From 1950 to 1960, many scholars studied parenting beliefs, styles, and
attitudes as well as the impact of parenting styles on children’s behaviors. There were increasing
amount of researches on family relations and parenting education. Recently, the so-called “culture lag”
occurs under the spreading of materialism. The concept of parenthood is challenged.
In this study, through the in-depth analysis and synthesis of literatures, the researcher has
elaborated upon the concept of parenthood on young children’s culture. The hope is to elicit a crystal
clear flow of belief in parenthood. The researcher concluded that parent-child attachment, interaction,
and love are the aspects of parenthood.
