ABSTRACT: Bowlby was first to emphasize that the role of parenting is of crucial importance to child development and mental health. The study seeks to enhance parent-child relationships through a correlational design to measure parental bonding as it correlates to depression and self-esteem. Series of self-report test were administered to 248 qualified students of the College of Education of Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila. Results indicated that there is a significant weak negative correlation between maternal care and depression (r=-.307, n=248, p<01), a significant weak negative correlation between parental care and depression (=-256, n=248, p<.01), a significant weak positive correlation between maternal care and self-esteem (r= .309, n=248, p<.01), a significant weak negative relationship between maternal overprotection and self-esteem (r=-.153, n=248, p<.05), a significant weak positive correlation between parental care and self-esteem (r=0.309, n=248, p<.01), and a significant moderate negative correlation between depression and depression and self-esteem (r=.618, n=248, p<.01). In conclusion, the results show that lack of parental care is linked with high level depression and low self-esteem. In contrast, high parental care is linked with normal level of depression and average self-esteem. Also, high maternal overprotection is linked with self-esteem and low maternal overprotection is linked with high self-esteem.
