Abstract

Attachment is a specific human behavior characterized by an individual's tendency and desire to seek closeness with others and find satisfaction in those relationships. This study was motivated by the observation that some children aged 5–6 years still struggle with emotional regulation, turn-taking, maintaining concentration during learning activities, and social adjustment. These issues are suspected to be linked to a lack of quality time and communication between parents and their children. The study aimed to determine the influence of parental attachment on the self-regulation of children aged 5–6 years at Elim Bolok Kindergarten in West Kupang District. A quantitative approach using an ex post facto research design was employed. The study population consisted of 55 parents, with a sample of 46 parents selected using the saturated sampling technique. Data were collected via a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using simple linear regression with the aid of IBM SPSS Statistics 25 software. The results indicate that parental attachment has a positive and significant effect on children's self-regulation, with a calculated t-value of 2.435 (exceeding the t-table value of 2.015) and a significance value of 0.019 (below 0.05). The coefficient of determination shows that parental attachment contributes 11.9% to children's self-regulation. Among the attachment aspects, trust recorded the highest mean score at 2.71. Thus, stronger parental attachment—characterized by trust, communication, attention, and emotional involvement—correlates with better self-regulation in children aged 5–6 years.
