The purpose of this study has two dimensions; Dimension 1: The 'Parent Education Program Based on the Cognitive Development of the Child', which is planned to be developed for the purpose of measuring the attitudes, stress levels of the parents and the effects on the problematic behaviors of the children. The development of the program was based on Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development. Dimension: It is experimental. The aim is to reveal the effectiveness of the Parent Education Program, which will be applied to the parents of children with behavioral problems.
