The family remains the main responsible for the transmission of social rules and, therefore, for the insertion of its members in society. The relationships established between parents and children are represented by parenting educational practices, which consist of the set of strategies used by them, aiming to guide the socially appropriate behaviors of the children, and are divided into positive and negative practices. The practices most used by parents influence the socio-emotional development of their children. In addition, part of the children s behaviors is learned from their parents, either through modeling, modeling or using rules. The implies that children can use the same parenting practices as their parents in the exercise of their parenting. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate whether parenting educational practices are transmitted between generations and which of these learned practices children use in the exercise of parenting. Through semi-structured interviews and the application of the RE-HSE-P with 10 pairs of men (parents and children) who exercise parenting and live in the state of Ceará. The results obtained were analyzed statistically using the SPSS software version 20.0 and lexicographically by the IRaMuTeQ software. It was found that positive practices are the most transmitted among the participating generations, emphasizing positive monitoring and moral behavior.
