The aim of this research is to find out the relationship between motherhood attitudes and children's, having preschool education, social cohesion and social incompatibility. The sample of this research consists of 178 mothers whose children are going on a preschool education. In the research, parental attitude scale was used to measure maternal attitudes, social adaptation and skill scale was used to determine the social adaptation and maladjustment level of the children and mother information form was used to determine demographic characteristics. To determine the differences of motherhood attitudes and children's social cohesion and social incompatibility according to the independent variable, t test and single factoral variance analysis (ANOVA) have been used. To study mothers' motherhood styles and children's social cohesion and social incompatibility, correlation analysis has been done. Multiple regression analysis has been used to study the predictive effect of motherhood style's on the children's social adaptation skills. As a result of the study, it was found that social cohesion and incompatibility of children, apart from the allowable attitude sub-dimension of motherhood attitudes, showed a significant difference according to the level of occupation and education; only overprotective maternal attitudes differ according to the number of children; According to the gender of the child, maternal attitudes and social cohesion and incompatibility of children did not differ. It was determined that there was a significant relationship between democratic maternal attitude (r=.724; p<.05) and overprotective maternal attitude (p<.05). It was determined that there was a significant relationship between the authoritarian maternal attitude (r = -.623; p<.05) and permissive maternal attitudes (r = -.394; p <.05) and social adaptation of children. It was found that there was a significant relationship between democratic motherhood attitude and children's social inconsistency (r = -.173; p<.05). A significant relationship was found between the authoritarian maternal attitude (r = .275; p <.05) and overprotective maternal behavior (r =395; p<.05) and social incompatibility of children. Maternal attitudes were found to be a significant predictor of social cohesion (R² = 545; p<.05) and social incongruity (R² = 240; p<.05) of pre-school children.
