| Summary: | Feeding problems are common in infant and young children.
These problems affect mother and child relationship. The current
study sought to investigate the efficacy of parent management
training in reducing children’s feeding problems. The present
study was a semi-experimental research based on pretest, posttest
and follow-up design with a control group. 34 mothers whose
children had feeding problems were chosen and randomly
divided into control and experimental groups. Then, experimental
group was intervened using training program for mothers for
six sessions. Control group didn’t receive any intervention.
Mothers in the experimental and control groups were assessed
in three time intervals (pretest, posttest and follow-up) by the
questionnaire of feeding problems. Findings of repeated measure
analysis indicated that training programs for parents significantly
reduced the feeding problems. This finding confirmed that parent
training program is an effective intervention for reducing feeding
problems. |
