TRANSFORMATION OF PARENTING AND CHILD EDUCATION PATTERNS IN BUGIS ETHNIC FAMILIES IN URBAN : CASE STUDY OF TAMALANREA INDAH VILLAGE, MAKASSAR CITY

This article aims to identify and analyze (1) parenting patterns in Bugis culture in relation to the views of Bugis parents in childcare. The results show that parenting patterns  for  children  in  Bugis  ethnic  families,  especially in Makassar City, have now undergone  changes  or  shifts and even value adjustments  to  modern  values  both  in form and nature. Some of the factors that caused this to happen were (1) factors of change and differences in times from the previous generation, (2) psychological factors of children, and (3) factors of binding legislation. The implementation of Bugis ethnic values such as Siri' and Mappatabe' is still being applied by  the  Bugis  family  but the values seem to have adjusted to the new values  that were born by the  modernization  of  technology, information, and communication. The  parenting  pattern of the first-generation Bugis ethnic family tends to be authoritarian, while  the  second  generation  tends  to  lead to a democratic parenting pattern.
