Abstract

Filial parenting (coined from the words filial piety and parenting style) is observed to be a parenting style emerging from Asia, specifically from the dynamics of the Chinese small families of today. This proposed construct refers to the almost unconditional devotion and care of both parents towards their one or two children. "Almost" in unconditional devotion and care means parents would add their demands or expectations of their children. Based on the parents' strengths and efforts, they would indulge and protect their children from conception to birth to growth and development. The ulterior motive of the filial parents is reciprocal devotion and care when they themselves reach old age. The consequences are worth consideration. The advantages and disadvantages of filial parenting, as well as implications for people managers and policy makers are discussed.
