Abstract

|
|
Purpose: This study aimed to identify the factors influencing the interaction between mothers and preschool-age children and construct a structural equation model based on the factors identified.
Methods: The data were collected from the mothers of children aged three to six years enrolled in kindergartens in Seoul, Gyeonggi, Chungbuk, and Jeonbuk. A total of 328 questionnaires were used for the analysis. Analysis was performed using SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 26.0 programs.
Results: The child¡¯s self-regulation (¥â = .42, p < .001) had the most significant influence on the interaction between mothers and preschool children, followed by the mother¡¯s parenting stress (¥â = -.23, p =.008), social support (¥â = .17, p < .001), and the child¡¯s active temperament (¥â = .15, p < .001). The child¡¯s gender, emotional temperament, social temperament, and mother¡¯s education level had indirect influences.
Conclusion: These results suggest that interventions considering the child¡¯s temperament, mother¡¯s parenting stress, and social support are required to promote the interaction between preschool-age children and mothers.
