Abstract
The purpose of this research was determination of relationship between mothers and children's motor development. Participants were 150 Childs with 4-6 aged and their mothers that lived in Eastern Azerbaijan province, Sarab city, and choice by cluster from kindergarten- pre-school centers. The equipment was Demographic, the short form of International Physical Activity, Bar-on Emotional Intelligence questionnaires, and the short form of second edition of Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Proficiency test. The results of Smart PLS3 showed that: In the %95 of confidence level, the mothers' emotional intelligence predicted 41% (p =0/000) and the mothers' physical activity predicted %17/3 (p=0/030) of children's motor development variations. Also, the mothers' emotional intelligence predicted % 15/9 of mothers' physical activity (p=0/028).
The mothers' emotional intelligence has two-fold roles in facilitating of children's motor development and mothers' physical activity. Also mothers' emotional intelligence is facilitator of mothers' physical activity. It is seems that the improvement of emotional intelligence and doing of physical activity can help to improvement of children's motor development.
