Parenting programs are structured educational programs aimed at improving parenting knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors, as well as enhancing parent-child relationships. The purpose of this study is to examine the evaluations and experiences of parents who participated in the Positive Discipline parenting program. The participants of the study consist of 12 mothers and three fathers (n = 15) whose children are attending primary school. Participants attended a seven-week education program, including one follow-up session, conducted face-to-face in a closed group format. A case study design, a qualitative research method, was used in the study. Data were collected through training evaluation and program evaluation forms developed by the researchers during the final session and follow-up session and analyzed using content analysis method. As a result of content analysis, four themes were identified, named as Contributions of the Program, Frequently Used Parenting Tools, Group Experience, and Recommendations. According to the findings, Positive Discipline increased parents' awareness of their own and their children's emotions and behaviors, encouraged empathetic responses, and strengthened their relationships with their children and others in their social life. It was observed that parents used the parenting knowledge, skills, and tools they acquired in the program during and after the program, thereby ensuring the continuity of positive changes. The study revealed that the program conducted in group format positively changed parents' behaviors and attitudes through the healing factors of the group. In addition, parents' recommendations for future trainings were identified. All findings were discussed in the context of the literature on parenting programs based on the Adlerian approach and the Positive Discipline parenting program.

Ebeveynlik programları ebeveynlik bilgi tutum ve davranışları ile ebeveyn ve çocuk ilişkisini geliştirmeyi amaçlayan yapılandırılmış eğitim programlarıdır. Bu araştırmanın amacı, Pozitif Disiplin Ebeveynlik Programı’na katılan anne babaların programa ilişkin değerlendirmelerini ve deneyimlerini incelemektir. Araştırmanın katılımcıları çocukları ilkokula devam etmekte olan 12 anne ve üç babadan (n = 15) oluşmaktadır. Katılımcılar, kapalı grup formatında yüz yüze gerçekleştirilen, biri izleme oturumu olmak üzere yedi hafta süren eğitim programına katılmışlardır. Araştırmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden durum çalışması deseni kullanılmıştır. Veriler son oturum ve izleme oturumunda araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen eğitim değerlendirme ve program değerlendirme formları aracılığı ile toplanmış ve içerik analizi yöntemiyle analiz edilmiştir. İçerik analizi sonucunda, programın katkıları, sıklıkla kullanılan ebeveynlik araçları, grup deneyimi ve öneriler olarak adlandırılan dört temaya ulaşılmıştır. Araştırmada, Pozitif Disiplin’in ebeveynlerin kendi duygu ve davranışlarının yanı sıra çocuklarının duygu ve davranışlarına ilişkin farkındalıklarını artırdığı, empatik tepkilerini teşvik ettiği ve çocukları ve sosyal yaşamdaki diğer kişilerle ilişkilerini güçlendirdiği belirlenmiştir. Ebeveynlerin programda edindikleri ebeveynlik bilgi, beceri ve araçlarını program sırasında ve sonrasında kullandıkları, bu sayede olumlu değişikliklerin sürekliliğinin sağlandığı görülmüştür. Araştırma, grup formatında gerçekleştirilen programın, grubun iyileştirici faktörleri aracılığı ile ebeveynlerin davranış ve tutumlarında olumlu değişim sağladığını göstermiştir. Ayrıca, gelecekteki eğitimler için ebevynlerin önerileri belirlenmiştir. Tüm bulgular Adler yaklaşımına dayalı ebeveynlik programları ve Pozitif Disiplin Ebeveynlik Programı’na ilişkin alanyazın bağlamında değerlendirilerek tartışılmıştır.
