This study used interview survey method and grounded theory for qualitative analysis to focus on 100 parents of kindergarten children (aged 5-6 years) in Chinese Mainland, and systematically explore the different ways of parents to deal with children's setback experiences and their multidimensional effects on children's psychosocial development. The study identified four core coping styles (negative, indulgent, neglectful, and directive) and revealed their profound effects on children's self-concept formation, emotional regulation ability, social behavior patterns, prosocial development, and parent-child relationship quality through qualitative analysis. This research has found that directive coping style (especially exploratory guidance type) is most effective in promoting children's adaptive development, while negative coping style is highly correlated with children's internalizing problems (such as inferiority complex and anxiety) and externalizing problems (such as aggressive behavior). The research results provide evidence-based scientific guidance for parental education practice and home-school co-education.
