Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The purpose of this study is to verify whether a psychological education text titled: A Book That Might Help You (Short Version). designed for elementary school students in the lower grades can serve as a source of reassurance for parents with mental illnesses who are beginning or already engaged in child-rearing. Additionally, we aim to clarify the potential of this text to contribute to improving attachment and help-seeking abilities in parent-child dyads where one or both parents have mental illnesses.

Basic objectives2

Others

Basic objectives -Others

By utilizing this text from an early age, we expect to reduce parents' feelings of guilt toward their children and alleviate tension that often arises in parent-child relationships. As a result, we expect that not only will the bond between parents and children be strengthened, but both parents and children will improve their ability to seek support from those around them. At the same time, this study will examine the role of such texts in promoting more effective parenting attitudes and reducing parenting stress.
