A sample of 120 preschool children were selected for this study by multistage random sampling. The dependent variable was mental and emotional development. The independent variables were maternal education, family income, number of children, belief of child value, parenting style, and sibling rivalry. The data were collected by a set of questionnaire. Path analysis was employed for data analysis. Results: Mental and emotional development was directly affected by authoritative parenting style (b=4.81; 95% CI 3.05 to 6.56; p=<0.001) and sibling rivalry (b=2.45; 95% CI= 0.92 to 3.99; p=0.002). Authoritative parenting style was positively affected by maternal education ≥ senior high school (b=2.14; 95% CI 0.03 to 4.24; p=0.046), family income ≥ minimum regional wage (b=1.41; 95% CI 0.07 to 2.75; p=0.038) and positive belief of child value (b=1.34; 95% CI <0.01 to 2.68; p=0.049). Family income was affected by maternal education ≥ senior high school (b=2.84; 95% CI 1.85 to 3.83; p=<0.001). Sibling rivalry was affected by number of children ≥ 2 (b=1.85; 95% CI 1.06 to 2.65; p=<0.001). Number of children ≥ 2 was affected by positive belief of child value (b=3.77; 95% CI 2.27 to 5.27; p=<0.001).
