This study aimed to examine the trends in Chinese parental education over the past 10 years, from 2013 to 2022, by reviewing 112 academic journal articles on the subject. Major findings were as follows: Yearly Trends: The analysis of academic journal articles concerning Chinese parental education showed an increasing trend in research from 2013 to 2015. The peak occurred in 2018, indicating the most concentrated period of research. Subsequent years, such as 2015 and 2020, also demonstrated substantial research output, accounting for 13.4% and 11.6%, respectively. Target Audience Trends: The investigation of target audiences in Chinese parental education articles revealed a sequence with "Other" (college students, adolescents) receiving the most attention, followed by parents of infants and toddlers, parents of children with disabilities, families with young children, and parents of school-age children. Research Method Trends: Chinese parental education articles primarily used literature reviews as the main research method. And the quantitative research and qualitative research were second to the former research method. Regarding data collection methods, literature review took the lead, with surveys/questionnaires, case studies, and participant observations following it. Content Trends: In terms of research content, the category "Other" in Chinese parental education had the highest proportion. Following this, research focused on parental education awareness and demands, theoretical approaches to parental education, and parental education programs. These trends provided insights into how Chinese parental education research has changed over the last ten years. This study provides fundamental data for research related to parental education in China and suggests directions for future studies.
