Work from home dan online learning akibat pandemi COVID-19 menyebabkan perubahan perilaku pengasuhan orang tua kepada anak. Pola asuh yang tepat melalui penerapan perilaku yang baik dapat menstimulasi perkembangan emosional anak. Namun, perkembangan emosional anak berisiko bermasalah apabila penggunaan pola asuh tidak tepat. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi hubungan antara pola asuh orang tua dan perkembangan emosional anak prasekolah pada masa pandemi COVID-19. Penelitian berdesain cross sectional ini melibatkan 186 orang tua dari anak prasekolah di PAUD/TK/RA di Jakarta yang dipilih dengan teknik purposive sampling. Instrumen yang digunakan yaitu Parenting Style and Dimension Questionnaire (PSDQ) dan Ages and Stages Questionnaire: Social-Emotional (ASQ:SE)–2. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat hubungan antara pola asuh orang tua dan perkembangan emosional anak prasekolah (p = 0,002; OR = 3,903). Anak prasekolah yang diasuh oleh orang tua dengan pola asuh otoritatif 3 kali memiliki perkembangan emosional yang tinggi dibanding diasuh orang tua dengan pola asuh permisif. Peneliti merekomendasikan adanya penyampaian hasil pola asuh oleh perawat komunitas atau pengembangan media edukasi oleh mahasiswa keperawatan atau pihak sekolah dalam promosi kesehatan. Selain itu, orang tua diharapkan lebih memperhatikan, mengawasi, dan mengantisipasi perilaku anak yang tidak sesuai dari perkembangan emosionalnya.
