The emotional environment in which children develop can be as determinant for their growth and development as genetics itself. This study investigated how parental competencies, understood as parents' abilities to care for, protect and educate their children, have a close relationship with children's emotional and cognitive development, impacting their emotional intelligence. An adequate family environment facilitates the development of emotional competencies in children, where emotional regulation is built through parental guidance, fostering independence and autonomy. Through the analysis of the data obtained from the application of the scales to measure the variables of interest, emotional intelligence through the TMMS-24, and parental competencies, through the E2P, to 232 children in fifth grade of elementary school in the canton of Cuenca and their parents, a positive correlation was found between the emotional attention of the children and the protective and reflective competencies of their caregivers. This suggests that a family environment in which parents provide protection and are able to see their actions from the outside, are able to promote healthy child development and provide skills to face future emotional challenges. Fostering social skills, moral values, and positive connections in the family is essential for children's social and emotional development. Parental knowledge and management of emotions is a pillar for children's mental health, modeling their behavior and facilitating the acquisition of skills in the emotional domain.
