Although developmental research continues to connect parenting behaviors with child outcomes, it is critical to examine how child behaviors influence parenting behaviors. Given the emotional, cognitive, and social costs of maladaptive parenting, it is vital to understand the factors that influence maternal socialization behaviors. The current study examines children’s observed emotion regulatory behaviors as one influence. Mother-child dyads (n = 91) with toddlers around 24 months of age participated in novelty episodes from which toddler emotion regulation behaviors were coded, and mothers reported their use of emotion socialization strategies. The concurrent and predictive relation between emotion regulation and emotion socialization was examined in the context of several moderators. It was found that child gender, depressive, and worry symptoms individually moderated the relation between emotion regulation and emotion socialization. Results from the current study have the potential to inform the literature on when child-elicited effects are most salient in the parent-child relationship.
