Description
Summary:Objectives: The aim of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of parents' skill training program on reducing children's behavioral problems. Method: In an experimental study (pre-post-test), 4 primary schools were randomly selected from schools of Tehran. Two schools were randomly allocated into experimental group and two into control group. Experimental group (mothers of children aged 7-9 years) received parents' skill training program for 8 weeks, two hours sessions. Parents' reports participating in the training program (n=30 mothers) were compared with parents' reports of non-trained control group (n=31 mothers). Data were gathered using Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and analyzed using covariance analyses. Results: There was a significant difference between the experimental and control group after the training. The experimental group reported a significant decrease in children's behavioral problems.
