Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of the Empowering Parents Training(EPT) program of the Settling Life Foundation on the improvement of children's basic life habits, a parent education program. The subjects were 72 mothers of 3- to 6-year-old children in 2 kindergartens located in Yangchun-gu and Nowon-gu in the City of Seoul. There were 36 mothers each in the experimental group and the control group. The mothers in the experimental group took part in a $2{\frac{1}{2}}$ hour Settling Life Foundation program in 4 sessions. The results revealed differences between the experimental and control groups in children's basic life habits. Mothers taking part in the program showed very positive reactions.
