Abstract :This study aims to investigate the relationship between parental attitudes and parent-child relationships of parents with 4-6-years-old children. A total of 289 parents, 245 mothers, and 44 fathers participated in the study. The data were collected through the Demographic Information Form, Child Parent Relationship Scale, and Parenting Attitude Scale. It was determined that the data showed a normal distribution. Pearson correlation coefficient, t-test, and ANOVA test were used to analyze the data. As a result of the study, it was determined that parents exhibited authoritative attitudes the most. In this study, a positive significant relationship was revealed between the authoritative attitude and overprotective attitude of parents and their positive relationship with their children. In addition, while it was revealed that there was a negative significant relationship between the authoritarian attitude and the positive relationship established with the child, no significant relationship was determined between the permissive attitude and the positive relationship established with the child. It was remarkable that parental attitudes and parent-child relationships did not differ according to the gender of the child, but parental attitudes differed according to the parent’s education level. Based on the results of this study, implications for future studies were shared.
