Abstract
In the present study, 250 elementary school children and their mothers participated. First, the mothers were screened using the Parenting Stress Index (PSI). Based on the screening, 80 overstressed mothers were selected; ultimately, 38 mothers were assigned randomly into either the experimental group or the control group. The Parenting Skills Inventory and Coopersmith Self- Esteem Inventory (CESI) were used prior to and following training to measure the impact of the parenting skills training program on the mothers and their children, whose average age was 10.6 years. The results revealed that the self-esteem level of children increased significantly after 8 training sessions.
