In this work we attempted to describe and correlate specific parenting practices and child behavior of children differentiated by problem behavior, education and sex. Attended 155 mothers of children enrolled in public schools, attending preschool or elementary school of both sexes, who answered the instruments: CBCL, RE-HSE-P and QRSH-P (version for parents). Data were analyzed statistically using the Pearson correlation test. The results showed that there are differences in the childrearing practices of skillful mothers and repertoire when correlated to pre-school and school children, especially if they are also differentiated by sex. The girls were the most skillful and the boys had more behavior problems.
