<br/><br/> This thesis aims to investigate the impact of parental incarceration on the mental well-being of<br/>children, and how a recreational activity such as coloring can help reduce their stress and sadness.<br/>The focal point of this study is the creation of a short story coloring book titled "Stella," with a story<br/>that mirrors the current situation of the children and their parents. The short story coloring book<br/>was then implemented in an event held at Quezon City Female Dormitory, organized by the<br/>researchers together with their NGO Partner, Humanitarian Legal Assistance Foundation, Inc.<br/>(HLAF). The children and their incarcerated parents during the event were able to engage and share<br/>the activity of coloring the book while also catching up and having an intimate time together. In<br/>order to collect information and ascertain the impact of the coloring books, the researchers used a<br/>descriptive research approach under qualitative research design with a population of twenty (20)<br/>children consisting of both males and females, all ages between 4 and 13 years old. In gathering the<br/>data, the researchers used pre-assessment and post-assessment via Google Forms, interview and<br/>observation, and a five-point Likert scale for survey questionnaires. The above-mentioned<br/>instruments are all noted with their Informed Consent Form (ICF) that is provided for the<br/>respondents before participating. Based on the findings, all the respondents who participated in the<br/>event agreed that they had a lot of fun and got to enjoy the time with their parents. In relation to<br/>the following question, all the feedback had the same reason for how they enjoyed the event. All of<br/>the children responded that it was a fun experience to share the coloring activity with their PDL<br/>mother.
