In this article we investigate the influence of the parenting style on the development of children self-regulation ability in foster grandparent families. The SQR questionnaire was used to identify the level of self-regulation of children and adolescents. Determination of the parenting style was carried out with application modified test of R.V. Ovcharova using a 5-point Likert scale for the answers. We used the questionnaire “Analysis of family relationships” by E. G. Eidemiller in two forms - for parents of children and adolescents in order to differentiate the relationship of parents with children of different ages and verify the results of the questionnaire by R.V. Ovcharova. A comparative analysis of the self-regulatory abilities is provided for children from complete, incomplete and grandparent substitute families with different styles of education. It is demonstrated that the average level of pupils self-regulation from grandparent families takes an intermediate position between the corresponding values of peers from full and single-parent families and corresponds to the low value. At the same time, the highest and lowest values of self-regulation levels are shown by children from authoritative full and liberal single-parent families, respectively. The differences in the self-regulatory ability depending on the gender of the child are demonstrated in families with an authoritative and liberal style of education.
