Previous studies show that the development of emotion regulation strengthens social-emotional well-being, and psychological resilience and reduces behavioural problems in children. This study aims to test the possible mediating role of emotion regulation and to gain a better perspective on the association between social and emotional well-being, resilience, and behavioural problems. 250 children aged 4-6 years (122 boys, 48.8%; 128 girls, 51.2%; mean age = 4.93) studying in kindergartens in Turkey were included in the study. Data on children's behavioural problems and emotion regulation skills were obtained from mothers, and data on social-emotional wellbeing, and psychological resilience levels were obtained from teachers. Social and emotional wellbeing, and psychological resilience indirectly significantly predicted behavioural problems through emotion regulation. Emotion regulation has a partial mediator role in the relationship between social and emotional well-being, psychological resilience and behavioural problems. In line with the results, the importance of supporting the development of emotion regulation skills in the preschool period was emphasized. © Copyright 2024 by THE PACIFICPacific Early Childhood Education Research Association2024Articlehttps://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/ebyu/11619https://doi.org/10.17206/apjrece.2024.18.1.251976-1961enAsia-Pacific Journal of Research in Early Childhood Educationinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://ebyu-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/ebyu/11619
