This study investigated child-rearing practices based on mothers’ reports in a non-urban context. 30 mothers of children aged from 4 to 30 months took part in this study. A semi-structured interview was applied with questions concerning the daily care mothers had with their children, activities carried out within the mother-child interaction and practices used to keep control of child behaviors. Results were studied using the analysis of content. In general, these results indicated mothers’ concern towards basic care in their child education, ludic interactions in the mother-child routine and the use of dialogue as a strategy to control the child behavior. It is considered that child-rearing practices are related, in a bidirectional way, to the child’s and parents’ characteristics, as well as to the socio-cultural context in which they live.
