The children psychological evaluation requires a multisource process. This is why having instruments that capture the valuation made by parents about the behavior and attributes of the child is paramount. The aim of this paper is to present the results of the adaptation and validation of the Parent’s Rating Scale of Child’s Actual Behavior (PRS;Harter, 1985) for its use in Buenos Aires (Argentina). The sample of the study was compound by 155 children (age M= 9.53, SD= 1.40) of both genders from Buenos Aires elementary schools and one of their parents. Discriminant item capacity, reliability, construct, content, convergent, and discriminant validity were studied. The results showed that this is a valid and reliable instrument to assessparents' perceptions of the attributes and skills of their school age children in Buenos Aires.
