Outline of Final Research Achievements

We observed [reflection on the involvement with the child] and [awareness of a better approach], such as “I felt that there were many instances when I did not respond in accordance with the child’s feelings,” and “if I praised him/her (the child), then he/ she would smile back at me, and if I expressed anger, he/she would respond with anger. Thus, a better parental approach is important for the sake of the child;” however, we also observed hardship in [conflict of not being able to cope well]. As a result of implementing the program, we found that the subjects felt [happy by the child’s good response]. For the overall score of the parenting stress index (PSI), 7 out of 11 mothers showed reduced parenting stress after receiving parent training compared to before the training. In the “family” sub-item of the QOL scale evaluated by the children themselves, scores were significantly higher after parent training compared to before parent training.
