Parents as primary caregivers play a significant role in the well-being of their child and their behaviors can be a protective or a risk factor for various developmental outcomes in children. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the relationship between parental behaviors and children’s emotional well-being. The study involved 134 children in primary schools, of which 61 were girls and 73 were boys, aged 8 to 12 years (M = 10, SD = 0,958), who completed the Parental Behavior Questionnaire and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule for Children. Children estimate that they experience high positive and low negative affect. They also rate maternal and paternal support as high and restrictive control as low. The results show that maternal and paternal support are positively associated with positive affect, whereas maternal and paternal restrictive control are negatively associated with positive affect. On the other hand, maternal and paternal support are negatively associated with negative affect, and maternal and paternal restrictive control are positively associated with negative affect. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that maternal parental behaviors explain 15% of the variance of positive affect, with support positively and restrictive control negatively predicting positive affect. The father's parental behaviors explain an additional 9% of the variance of positive affect, with support positively predicting positive affect and restrictive control negatively predicting positive affect. The results also show that maternal parental behaviors explain 17% of the variance in negative affect. A significant predictor is only the restrictive control of the mother, which positively predicts negative affect. The father's parental behaviors explain an additional 6% of the variance of negative affect, with support being negative and restrictive control a positive predictor of negative affect.
