While prior research has primarily focused on the cognitive foundations of self-regulation using variable-centered approaches, the link between self-regulation and parent-child dynamics remains underexplored in individual-centered frameworks. This study aims to investigate the self-regulation profiles of children and their association with the mother-child relationship.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>The cross-sectional exploratory study included 822 Turkish mothers of children aged 4–6. Data were collected using the Demographic Information Form, the Self-Regulation Skills of 4–6-Year-Old Children (Mother Form), and the Child Parent Relationship Scale. Correlation analysis was conducted to examine the relationships between self-regulation skills and the quality of mother-child interactions. Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) was employed to identify self-regulation profiles. Additionally, Multinomial Logistic Regression Analysis was conducted to examine whether sociodemographic characteristics predicted profile membership, while ANOVA was used to assess differences in child age and mother-child relationship patterns across the identified self-regulation profiles.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>The results of correlation analysis showed positive relationships between mother-child closeness and self-regulation components, while conflictual interactions showed negative relationships. Moreover, the study, conducted from an individual-centered approach, identified three distinct self-regulation profiles: Low, Medium, and High Self-Regulation. Positive mother-child relationships were linked to the High Self-Regulation Profile, while conflictual relationships correlated with the Low Self-Regulation Profile.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion/practice implications</h3><div>This study highlights the importance of positive mother-child interactions in enhancing self-regulation skills in early childhood. The findings provide valuable guidance for pediatric nursing practices by emphasizing the role of mother-child relationships in supporting children's self-regulation skills. Interventions fostering positive parental interactions can be implemented to improve children's developmental outcomes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48899,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Nursing-Nursing Care of Children & Families","volume":"84 ","pages":"Pages 97-106"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144147822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
