Objective: The purpose of this study is to explore the types of childhood experiences by mothers and to examine the effects of their childhood experiences on parental role satisfaction, parenting behavior, and respect for children's rights. Methods: Latent hierarchical analysis, multinomial logistic analysis, and multiple regression analysis were utilized with 503 mothers who send their children to early childhood education institutions. Results: First, the mothers' childhood experiences were divided into the three potential classes. These are labelled here as the ‘negative experience group' (5.3%), the 'medium-level experience group' (28.4%) and the ‘positive experience group' (66.2%). Second, parental role satisfaction, parenting behavior, and respect for children's rights were found to be higher in the ‘positive experience group' of the mother's childhood experience than the ‘negative experience group'. Conclusions: It was found that the type of childhood experience in childhood affects parental role satisfaction, parenting behavior, and the level of parenting that respect children's rights when reaching parenthood. These results emphasize the importance of fostering independence from parents in childhood and the importance of receiving children's experiences as they are, helping them to heal and recover from negative childhood experiences, and as a strategy to prevent them, education for prospective parents. However, the results also suggest that various measures such as positive parenting education programs are needed.
