Abstract
The central purpose of the present research is to identify the effect of such preventive educational programs on improvement of infants’ emotional development and reduction of parenting stress. The research subjects consisted of experimental group of 12 mothers and a control group of 15 mothers who spontaneously agreed to participate in the educational program. Both groups were given both a pre-and a post-test before and after implementation of the program. Wilcoxon signed rank test was conducted to examine the differences between the pre-and the post-tests. The results are that the educational program to prevent emotional abuse had a positive effect on infants’ social-emotional development. The mothers who participated in the program were not really aware of their emotions and had a chance to see the ways of expressing their emotions to others. Through the educational program, they also learned to recognize and express emotions sensitively by having interactions with affection. Further research needs to examine, develop, and apply a program so that preventing emotional abuse and further researches might differentiate a set of programs according to different ages of infants.
