Background and Purpose: One of the new topics in education and psychology is wisdom. The present study investigated the effectiveness of mothers' wise parenting on the psychological well-being of preschool children in Isfahan City.
Method: This was an experimental study with a pre-test and post-test design and included an experimental group and a control group. The statistical population included mothers of 4 to 6-year-old preschool children in Isfahan city in 2023. Samples were randomly selected in a multi-stage cluster and placed in the experimental and control groups (15 people for each group). The research tool was the Psychological Well-being Questionnaire (Mayer and Ulich, 2009) completed by parents of preschool children. The experimental group was trained for ten sessions of 90 minutes duration and the control group only received two sessions after the study. The data were analyzed through multivariate covariance analysis with SPSS version 23 software.
Results: The results showed that wise parenting training in the experimental group effectively increased social performance scores (17.4 to 25.5), self-control (16.9 to 25.0), self-confidence (7.4 to 11.3), task orientation (13.6 to 21.2), and pleasure in exploration (15.1 to 22.9) compared to the control group (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Based on the findings of the research, it can be said that the use of wise parenting and its effect on their speech, action, and behavior can improve preschool children's social performance, self-control, confidence, task-orientation, and enjoyment of exploration. As a result, it is suggested that wise parenting along with other existing educational methods be used in the field of educating parents of preschool children.
