The current study aim to:- 1.

Identification of impulsive behavior in kindergarten children.

2.

Identification of classroom discipline patterns of kindergarten teachers.

3.

Identification of the relation between the impulsive behavior of kindergarten children and patterns of classroom discipline of kindergarten teachers.

The sample of the current study consisted of (250) male and female child aged from (4-6) years old, and (250) kindergarten teacher which were randomly selected from (42) governmental kindergartens from the Directorate General of Education: Rusafa first/ Rusafa second, and from Directorate General of Education al karkh first / karkh second.

The researcher implemented the descriptive analytical research method for the current study, and used two scales: impulsive behavior scale of kindergarten children, and the patterns of classroom discipline scale of kindergarten teachers.

The impulsive behavior scale consisted of (47) items.

Scale honesty was extracted upon honesty and sincerity of virtual construction, scale reliability was calculated using re-test method which was (0.804), split-half method (0.828) and cronbach's alpha (0.974).

As for the patterns of classroom discipline scale of kindergarten teachers, the researcher constructed the scale to be consisting of (26) scenario based items that represent the democratic, autocratic and chaotic patterns of classroom discipline.

Honesty and reliability of the scale were extracted by the same methods used for the first scale where re-test value was (0.76), split-half (0.90) and Cronbach's alpha (0.954) respectively.

After commencement and application of the both scales on the study sample; data were collected and statistical analyses were performed using person correlation, T-test for two dependent samples, Cronbach's alpha and standard error equation.
