Method:This was a semi-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test design with a control group. The population consists of mothers with young children in Shiraz (Iran) in 2022. Based on the inclusion criteria, 30 subjects were selected randomly and randomly assigned into experimental and control groups of 15 subjects. The studied mothers were evaluated with the demographic, Pianta parent-child relationship scales (Child-Parent Relationship Scale) and parenting stress short form (Parenting Stress Scale Short Form).The experimental group went under 12 sessions of 90 minutes twice a week intervention, as the control group was held back on training. The data were analyzed using multivariate covariance analysis (MANCOVA). Results: The findings showed that schema-based parenting education improved the parent-child relationship and reduced the parenting stress of mothers with children (P<0.001).
