Abstract

The fact that fathers are more involved in child care than in the past has made them more able to communicate with their children. At an early age, positive communication between father and child creates a secure attachment. With the realization of secure attachment, the foundations are laid for the child to have confidence in himself and his abilities, to have positive self-esteem, and to stand strong in the face of difficulties. A child with positive social-emotional skills is expected to adapt more easily to the environment and changes. This brings along psychological well-being and resilience. This study examines the relationship between preschool children’s social-emotional skills, psychological resilience levels and father-child communication. The research was planned in correlative survey model and carried out with fathers with children between three and seven years old. The data were collected by convenient sampling method and 46 fathers and their children were included in the research. Social-Emotional Skills and Psychological Resilience Scale for Preschool and Father-Child Communication Scale were used to collect data. The results of the research show a positive and significant relationship between paternal communication and the emotional knowledge/expression and empathy sub-dimensions of the Social-Emotional Skills and Psychological Resilience Scale. Discussions and suggestions were made in line with the findings.
