Even though the number of psychological resiliency-related studies has increased, in Turkey, in recent years, the number of studies regarding preschool children is still inadequate. Studies that measure, improve, and support the psychological-resiliency of preschool children carry grave importance. Measuring instruments should be developed or adapted in order for subject-related studies to be conducted.Taking this into consideration, the purpose of this study is to conduct reliability-validity studies for the Children’s Ego Resiliency Scale’s Teacher, Mother, and Father Forms, developed for preschool children. The 12-item scale is a 9-point likert-type measuring instrument developed to set forth the ego-resiliency of children based on the views of their parents or teachers. The study group comprised of 120 children, aged between 5 and 6, from families with low socio-economic background, attending preschool, and their parents (120 mothers and 120 fathers). Study results prove that the Turkish version of the Children’s Ego Resiliency Scale’s Teacher, Mother, and Father Forms are reliable and valid.
