摘要：The purpose of this study was to develop a parent education program enhancing mother`s positive interactions in the context of mother-toddler play and to examine the effects of the program. Participants were 47 pairs of toddlers and their mothers who were randomly assigned to either a treatment or a control group. Both treatment and control groups participated in the 8 sessions of the play class. Only treatment groups received the parent education program during the sessions. Data were analysed by t-tests using SPSS 15.0. Results showed that (1) the mothers` positive interactions have been increased;(2) the mothers` parenting efficacy and pleasure have also been increased,whereas the parenting stresses were decreased in the treatment groups. In conclusion,this parent education program in the play session was effective in helping the mothers` positive interactions and perceptions on parenting toddlers.
