“…When the studies on parent-child relationship in early childhood are examined, it has been revealed that the parent-child relationship differs according to various variables related to mother and father (age, education level, employment status, etc.) (Cantekin & Akduman, 2020;Sweeney & MacBeth 2016;Uzun & Baran, 2019) and that family education programmes are effective in developing the parent-child relationship (Erdoğan & Zelyurt, 2016;Feinberg, Jones, Kan & Goslin, 2010;Saygı & Balat 2013;Zorbaz, 2018). In this context, this research was conducted due to the fact that there is a lack of early childhood studies based directly on the positive parent-child relationship and the negative parent-child relationship, and at the same time, the fact that there are few studies in the literature examining relationships within the family during the pandemic period (Amakiri et al, 2020;Başaran & Aksoy, 2020;Di Giorgio, Di Riso, Mioni & Cellini, 2020;Lee & Ward, 2020).…”
