Summary
196 Finnish children and their parents were assessed six times during their kindergarten and first two years of primary school in order to determine whether parenting styles predicted children’s problem behaviors during the transition from kindergarten to primary school. A high level of maternal psychological control with high affection predicted increases in the level of both internal and external problem behaviors among children.
