Objective: The present study aimed to develop a wise parenting training package for adolescents.
Methods and Materials: In this qualitative study, the study population consisted of mothers with wise adolescents. Participants were selected using a purposive sampling method based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The number of mothers was determined according to the principle of saturation. Data were collected through interviews with mothers. The data obtained from the literature review were analyzed using the thematic analysis method (2019).
Findings: The results of the thematic analysis indicated the following components: (1) fundamental principles of wise parenting (with organizing codes including perceiving children as a trust and understanding parenting as a divine duty), (2) parenting content (with organizing codes including parenting for difficult situations and parenting for daily life), (3) components of wise parenting (with organizing codes including the meaning of parenting, parenting values, and parenting goals), (4) parenting methods (with organizing codes including behavioral, social, and communicational methods), and (5) characteristics of a wise parent (with organizing codes including intrapersonal and interpersonal characteristics). The training package was developed using the method of Yusefi and Golparvar (2023), with the identified categories incorporated into the training sessions. The package underwent content validation by university faculty members.
Conclusion: The results indicated that this training package possesses content validity and can be utilized for training wise parenting for adolescent girls.
