Methods: this paper used conners' behavior questionnaire and family parenting style scale to survey 232 elementary school seniors in rural china, and spss21 was used for statistical analysis. Conclusions: behavior problems of elementary school students were significantly correlated with family parenting style, in which democracy parenting style factor was significantly negatively correlated with behavior problems, while indulgence, democracy, laissez-faire, authoritarianism, and inconsistency were significantly positive correlations.
