In1979, Martin Bronfenbrenner putforward the theory of ecological system, the theory is that the environment is one ofthe important factors influence the development of children and can be divided intomicro systems, system and external system and macro system in four levels，of whichthe family and the kindergarten environment are important “micro-system” thatinfluenced children’s psychological development. In family environment parents andgrandparents will participate in the process of children’s education, and they will havea direct impact on children’s behavioral development, and peer groups in Kindergartenare also crucial to children’s development. Previous study of problem behavior wasjust from their parental rearing styles,ignored the affection of grandparents upbringingto children’s problem behaviors,besides, the relationship between problem behaviorsand peer status didn’t come to unanimous conclusion.Based on this, this study mainlydiscusses the two kinds of influence of grandparents parenting,and peer status onchildren’s problem behaviors.This study mainly investigate problem behaviors, grandparents breeding, peerstatus and the relationship between the three variables. To discuss the generalcharacteristics of problem behavior and to investigate the relationship between theproblem behavior and the two influence factors.Including the total detection rate ofchildren’s problem behaviors and each factor detection rate, sex differences and gradedifferences in children’s problem behaviors;the relationship between children’sproblem behaviors and grandparents breeding and the relationship between thechildren’s problem behaviors and peer status.This study selected269infants of two kindergartens as the subjects, using the form of mother report to assess children’s problem behaviors, and grandparents reportto examine grand-parental rearing styles, and the method of peer nomination toinvestigate young children’s peer status.The study obtained the following conclusions:1.269children’s problem behaviors in the overall detection rate is10.78%,theresult is keeping with the national norm, the boy’s behavior detection rate is higherthan girls.
