The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of parental role intelligence on younger children\'s emotional control and thereby, explore the directions for desirable parental roles conducive to children\'s healthy development and growth. For this study, the researcher sampled 114 children aged between 5~7 attending 3 kindergartens in Seoul as well as their parents. The data collected from the survey was processed using the SPSS program for Cronbach\'s α coefficients, frequencies, percentages, means, standard deviations, T-test, ANOVA and multiple regression analysis. The results of this study can be summarized as follows; (1) as a result of analyzing the differences of parental role intelligence levels depending on parents\' demographic variables, it was found that fathers\' parental role intelligence levels did not significantly differ depending on demographic variables, while mothers\' levels differed significantly depending on such demographic variables. Namely, the mothers with college or higher background tended more to play such roles of empathy, encouragement, enhancement and rejection than those mothers with high school background, and those mothers with the monthly income of 4 million wons or more tended more to play the role of rejection than those mothers with less than 4 million wons. (2) as a consequence of analyzing the effects of parental role intelligence on children\'s emotional control, it was disclosed that the more the fathers played the role of control, children were controlling their emotion better, and that the more the mothers played the roles of encouragement and rational authoritativeness, children were controlling their emotion better.
