Abstract

Parenting plays an important role in shaping parent-child relationships, particularly as families face social change and the growing presence of digital technology in everyday life. Parents need to build warm relationships while maintaining clear rules and boundaries. This community service program aimed to improve the knowledge of women members of the Family Welfare Movement in Kajar Village regarding positive parenting, respectful communication, nonviolent discipline, consistent rules, and guidance for children's social and digital activities. The program was conducted on July 31, 2026, at Kajar Village Hall and involved 18 participants aged 30-50 years. Participatory education was delivered through presentations, examples of family situations, quizzes, discussions, questions and answers, and reflection on parenting experiences. Participants' knowledge was measured using a pretest and posttest, and the scores were analyzed descriptively and with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The mean score increased from 7.72 at pretest to 9.44 at posttest. Sixteen participants improved and two maintained the same score. The Wilcoxon test showed a difference between scores before and after the program (W = 0; p < 0.001). These findings indicate a short-term improvement in participants' knowledge. Since the posttest was administered immediately after the activity, the results cannot yet be used to assess changes in parenting practices at home. Follow-up activities should monitor the application of the material and evaluate participants several weeks after the educational session.
