<![CDATA[The ability to manage emotions is a fundamental skill that has not yet fully developed in most early childhood students. The role of fathers and the quality of parental communication are key factors in helping children build balanced emotional regulation. This study aims to analyze the influence of father–child attachment and parental communication patterns on emotional regulation among children aged 5–6 years. The research employed a quantitative approach using an ex post facto design. The participants consisted of 217 fathers selected through a simple random sampling technique. Data were collected using validated and reliable questionnaires, then analyzed through multiple regression to examine both partial and simultaneous effects among variables. The results show that father–child attachment contributes positively to children’s ability to recognize, understand, and control their emotions. Moreover, open, warm, and responsive parental communication patterns were found to enhance children’s emotional regulation more effectively. Overall, fathers’ emotional involvement and effective family communication play crucial roles in shaping emotional balance and social development in early childhood. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening fathers’ roles and improving the quality of family interactions to support children’s holistic emotional growth.]]>
