Abstract

This research aimed to determine the grandparents’ parenting style towards their grandchildren, strategies to improve education and knowledge, and grandparents’ obstacles in parenting alpha-generation grandchildren. This research is descriptive qualitative. This research used direct interviews and questionnaires with the grandparents of students in SDN 02 Bubakan, Tulakan District. This research consists of 10 samples of grandparents who take care of grandchildren because their parents work in the city. The results showed that 60% of grandparents care for female grandchildren, and the remaining 40% care for male grandchildren. Grandparents’ parenting patterns are authoritarian (4 respondents) and democratic (4 respondents). From these parenting patterns, there are four strategies implemented by grandparents: help improve their grandchildren’s education and knowledge, supply their grandchildren’s spiritual needs, and supply their grandchildren’s physical needs. Grandparents also face three obstacles. First, there are problems with communication between grandparents and grandchildren (25%). Second, there is different knowledge between grandparents and their grandchildren (30%). Third, grandparents experience obstacles in technological development (45%). Keywords: Alpha Generation, Grand Parents Parenting Style, Parenting Style
