This study examines the influence of maternal parenting attitudes on children’s problem behaviors through a comparative analysis of Korean and Chinese mothers. Results show that Korean mothers exhibit higher affectionate and autonomous parenting, while Chinese children display more internalizing and externalizing behaviors. Cultural differences in parenting practices and their impact on early childhood development are highlighted, emphasizing the need for parental education to foster positive parenting.
