Summary:
Adolescence is defined as a period in which the individual experiences many physiological and psychological changes. Especially in the early adolescence period, the intense emotional ups and downs created by the transition from childhood to adolescence can also lead to difficulties in managing control mechanisms. This period, which has a very important place in vital transition periods, emerges as a period in which the child must receive comprehensive information from his/her parents about the transition to adolescence. However, this process, which challenges the child, also negatively affects the establishment of healthy communication with parents. Therefore, parents cannot talk to their children about these issues, which are "not considered appropriate by society", especially in traditional societies, due to the difficulties brought by the lack of individual information during this process. It is thought that all this chaos of the period will cause intense stress in parents and negatively affect parental attitudes. In this context, it is predicted that the transition to adolescence education program (ERGEP) prepared for parents will positively affect parental stress and parental attitudes.

Primary Outcome Measures: Parental Stress, Change in Parental Stress Parental Stress Scale (PASS): The scale developed by Özmen and Özmen (2012) examines parents' daily It was designed to measure the stress they experience in their relationships with their children. Consisting of 16 questions in total, the scale used A four-point Likert-type rating (Always = 4, Often = 3, Sometimes = 2, Never = 1). The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 16, while the highest score is 64. A high score on the scale indicates parental stress. shows that it is high. The internal consistency coefficient of the scale, Cronbach-Alpha, was reported as .85., 5 MOUNTH|Parental Attitude, Parental Attitude is Positive Parental Attitude Scales (4-12 Years): The scale developed by Ogelman and Özyürek (2020) was developed to determine the child-rearing attitudes of parents with children aged 4-12. Two subscales were obtained from this study. One of these subscales consists of items reflecting desired attitudes, the other consists of items reflecting undesirable attitudes. The Desired Parental Attitude Scale consists of 14 items, and the Undesirable Parental Attitude Scale consists of 13 items. The high score obtained from these two scales, which are scored and evaluated separately, is interpreted as the dominant attitude related to that scale. The Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficient of the scales was reported as 0.810 for the Desired Parental Attitude Scale and 0.748 for the Undesirable Parental Attitude Scale., 5 MOUNTH
