Abstract
Background: Parenting is one of the strongest influences on children, particularly, during their early childhood years. Early life experiences form the foundation for brain architecture and scientists now know that a major ingredient in this brain development process is the interaction between children with their parents or caregivers. Positive parenting is focused on developing a strong, deeply committed relationship between parent and child based on communication and mutual respect. Positive Parenting focuses on teaching children not just what but also why. Positive parenting means training children toward self-control. Aim: The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of positive parenting teaching on development of self-esteem among Primary care givers of preadolescence. Objectives: To assess the existing self- esteem among primary care givers of preadolescence on development of self-esteem in experimental group and control group. To evaluate the effectiveness of positive parenting teaching on development of self-esteem among primary care givers of preadolescence in experimental group before and after intervention. To correlate the effectiveness of positive parenting teaching on development of self-esteem among primary care givers of preadolescence between experimental and control group. To compare the effectiveness of positive parenting teaching on development of self-esteem among primary care givers of preadolescence between experimental and control group. To associate post test score of positive parenting teaching on development of self-esteem among primary care givers of preadolescence in experimental group and control group. Material and method: research approach -Interventional research approach with interventional and control group pretest-posttest. Study design: experimental research design.
