This research was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of organization-based parenting on separation anxiety and the improvement of the parent-child relationship in mothers of preschool children. The present study is a semi-experimental research with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group. The statistical population of this research included all preschool children attending kindergartens and preschool centers in District 7 of Tehran during the academic year 2023-2024. The sample consisted of 30 participants selected through convenience sampling and was selectively divided into two groups (15 in the experimental group and 15 in the control group), with the control group remaining on a waiting list for treatment. Before and after ten therapy sessions, all participants were assessed using the Child Symptom Inventory (CSI-4) parent form and the Parent-Child Relationship Questionnaire by Pianta (1994). Data analysis of the questionnaire results was conducted using SPSS-V27 software, employing both descriptive and inferential (covariance) statistics. The results of the covariance analysis indicated that organization-based parenting significantly reduced separation anxiety in the post-test phase. Additionally, the findings demonstrated that organization-based parenting led to an increase in the parent-child relationship among mothers of preschool children. Overall, the findings of this research suggest that organization-based parenting can serve as an effective intervention for managing separation anxiety and improving the parent-child relationship in mothers of preschool children. This study carries significant implications for professionals in psychology and child education and contributes to the development of culturally relevant therapeutic methods.
