Improving the Intimacy in Mother-Child Communication in the Middle of COVID-19 Pandemic through Playing and Reading Activities
Intimate communication between mother and child is very important for optimal and mature child
development in the future. This communication can be built when the mother as the main actor in child
care takes enough time to involve in various activities carried out and needed by the child in its
development. Nowadays, the existence of a corona pandemic requires everyone to stay at home, no
exception for mothers who usually work in the office. Thus, this condition has an important role in
fostering intimate communication between mother and child. This study aims at determining various
activities that can be carried out by mothers and children while they are at home and the implementation
of these activities so that the intimacy of mother and child communication that was constrained could
be reawakened. The method used in this study is a survey method with a quantitative approach. The
stages include condition analysis, literature review, research instrument making, google form creation,
data processing, soliciting responses, writing reports, and conclusions. The results of the study showed
that most respondents engaged in reading and playing activities with their children at home. Those two
activities were made to vary according to the interests and development of the children. Reading and
playing activities required mothers to be creative, innovative, and directly involved in children's
activities. This has an impact on the rebuilding of intimacy communication between mother and child
