  • This study aims to illustrate the effectiveness of an awareness program for rural mothers about the proper parenting methods for their preschool children. The study points out to the importance of creating a sense of awareness among parents in general and mothers in particular about proper parenting methods. It also highlights the concern raised among those in charge of child rearing with regard to making rural mothers familiar with child rearing and providing programs for them. The study sample was composed of (40) rural mothers distributed as follows: (20) mothers make up the control sample whereas the other (20) mothers served as an experimental sample. All of them were housewives with children in the preschool stage. Most of the study population earned an intermediate qualification. Their average age was 25 years. The study revealed the effectiveness of an awareness program for rural mothers about proper parenting methods for their preschool children. Moreover, this program introduced mothers to the wrong methods of parenting and how to replace them with the proper ones. The study also recommended providing educational courses for mothers in kindergartens to identify their mistakes in parenting, allocating sufficient time for mothers to sit with their children along with listening and responding to their concerns. This is in addition to giving more weight to telling a bedtime story, kissing and cuddling before going to bed as being vital. A mother should enjoy parenting as this shall relieve the burden of parenting and she shall feel the joy while parenting and allocating tome to play with the child, at least once a week.
