A study group of the examination involves 464 parents who have children between 3-6 age, and whose children continue having education in formal pre-school institutions. For the purpose of measuring the emotional abuse potentials of the parents who attended the study, "Parents' Emotional Abuse Potentials Having 3-6-Year-Old Children Scale" was used that was developed by the researchers. In the analysis of the data, Mann Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis tests were used among non-parametric tests. As a result of our study, it was detected that mothers abuse kids emotionally more than the fathers, and some significant differences that bachelors show behaviours causing emotional abuse more, while postgraduates show more preventer behaviours. It was seen that the older parents get, the more their potentials of avoiding emotional abuse increase, in point of the number of children, it was found that parents with one child create some significant differences in terms of preventing the emotional abuse and causing the emotional abuse.
