In this study, in order to improve the understanding about the aggression of the child, the relationship between child language skills and emotional intelligence, and mother's rejective rearing attitude was studied. I tried to provide the basic data for the development of educational programs for young children showing aggressive behavior in daily life and the basic data for the education of their parents through this study. The research objects of this study were 200 young children of 5~6 years(111 boys, 89 girls) attending to 8 early childhood education institutions located in Busan and their mother, 200 people, and 18 their teachers. To measure the child aggression, Yeon Hee-Kwon(1990)'s measure was used and the measure is the adaptation of Preschool Behavior Scale Teacher Form (PSBS; Crick et al., 1990). And to examine the language ability of child, vocabulary test of K-WPPSI (Korean Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence) was used. In addition, to measure the emotional intelligence of child, some questions from "rating scale of child emotional intelligence for teachers (It was developed by GyonHee-Kim(1998), and used by SeHwa-Yoon(2008))" were used. In addition, to examine mother's rejective rearing attitude, only "Rejection" from HyeJeong-Hwang(1997)'s adaptation of Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire (PARQ) was used. As a way to analyze the data, Technical Statistics for each variable and Pearson's product-moment correlation coefficient were calculated, and t-test by sex was performed. In addition, Hierarchical Regression Analyses was performed to investigate the intervention effect of emotional intelligence and mediator effect of language skills about the relationship between mother's rejective rearing attitudes and child aggression. The results of this study are as follows. First, if child has high emotional intelligence, his relational aggression and outward aggression were low. And if child language skill is high his outward aggression was low, while child language skill had nothing to do with relational aggression. In addition, if mother shows rejective rearing attitude, child relational aggression and outward aggression were high. Second, if mother shows rejective rearing attitude and child emotional intelligence is low, child relational aggression and outward aggression were high. On the other hand, if child emotional intelligence is high, child relational aggression was low. In other words, child emotional intelligence mitigated negative effects of mother's rejective rearing attitude and child relational aggression.
