This study aims to explore the impact of emotional education in parent-child interaction on early childhood emotional intelligence and investigate the moderating role of family factors in the effectiveness of emotional education. Utilizing a mixed-methods design, participants' parent-child interactions with young children were observed, followed by face-to-face interviews. The results indicate that emotional education strategies within parent-child interactions, such as encouraging emotional expression, providing guidance for emotional regulation, and fostering emotional awareness, contribute to the development of children's emotional intelligence. This includes their ability to express emotions, understand others' emotions, and regulate their own emotions. Both family support and educational background positively influence the implementation of emotional education and the development of early childhood emotional intelligence. The findings underscore the significance of family factors in emotional education, offering practical guidance for both families and educational institutions to facilitate a comprehensive advancement of young children's emotional intelligence.
