Abstract

This study explores Parenting in Riau Malay Culture in Indonesia. Participants consisting of 21 parents (13 mothers and 8 fathers) with young children were interviewed in-depth, mainly about their knowledge and practice of parenting, aspects of parenting in Malay culture, how they applied it in parenting and how they adapted these cultural values to current developments. The findings showed that millennials' parents face challenges in maintaining the culture in parenting practices, but they have a strong impression of their parents' traditional care based on local wisdom. Even though the new culture brought about by globalization makes it difficult to preserve Riau Malay culture through parenting, the community's role in Malay culture-based parenting needs to be improved so that the enculturation process is as expected and parenting intervention through social and digital media to support the parent's role.
