The relationship of mother-child attachment and children`s self-perception was assessed in 43 five-year-olds and their mothers. Attachment Q-set(Waters & Deane, 1985) was used to assess attachment security and the Puppet Interview(Cassidy, 1986) to assess global self-esteem. Data were analyzed by t-tests and Pearson`s correlations. Attachment security was positively correlated with global self-esteem. Girls had more positive global self-esteem than boys.
