Abstract

Emotion is an effective process that occurs in a parallel and integrative way with cognition and both regulate individual and social behavior, and can influence positively or not, so regulating emotions is essential for the development of human beings. This article aims to present parental influence in the process of developing children's emotional regulation in the cognitive-behavioral perspective. The methodology used was a bibliographical review whose materials were books, articles available in Scielo database, Bvsa�ºde; and Pepsic. As results, it was noticed that the interaction between parents and children is essential for the healthy formation of the child. Parents should pay attention to their own emotions and their interpretations of their children's emotional manifestations in order to listen to their children's experiences and assist in solving problems. It is pointed out that the development of empathy is stimulated by parental practices aimed at communication and the encouragement of problem-solving, expression and emotional regulation. In this way, it is in the contact with the caregivers that the child develops most of the cognitive and behavioral repertoire. In this sense, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy aids in the modification of dysfunctional thoughts and behaviors, making possible the use of coping strategies more appropriate to parents and, therefore, in the child. Cognitive behavioral techniques such as cognitive restructuring and social skills training are essential. Therefore, the management of emotional responses in an appropriate way is related to good social adjustment, while the difficulties of the management are related to a social maladjustment by the children.
