Abstract
The main objective of this paper is to carry out a parent training with parents from different cultural background with a dual purpose: a) providing basic educational skills that disregard the cultural differences and b) verify the effectiveness of training and maintenance of skills learned. This research was designed both to verify whether a program of parent-training group can modify the parent-child interactions in different cultural contexts than the Italian, and to provide a service to families who, for different reasons, can be considered “at risk”. The work was carried out separately on Italian and Sri Lankan groups of parents of non-compliant children. Both groups learned, by attending training sessions, educational techniques proposed and put them into practice with their children in different interactive contexts.
Highlights
Every family is a system that lives in a particular time and moves in a given space (Sponchiado, 2001). Kagitçibasi (1990) proposes an evolutional model of the family which shows the mutual influences between the context and the family system, and explains the evolution of the family in relation to socioeconomic development, creating causal analysis/functional development of the self.The family brings values and processes of socialization that enable us to understand the variability between the size of independence and interdependence values
The nonparametric data, in order to access this type of information that was provided only by sophisticated statistical tests, such as the A.NO.VA and t test, was considered essential to transform them into arcsine (Freeman & Tukey, 1955)
The children’s behavior has improved in parallel and consistently, especially in the areas of greatest interest, and the change recorded in the post-training has remained constant or even increased, with the passage of time

Even family’s interactions, designed as educational styles, influence the development of the child’s personality and, social development and relationships. The children spend most of their time in the household, and in some cases, it is necessary to modify the parental relationships so that the child learns to emit behaviors within the family and to generalize them in the social context
