Abstract
Prevention and early-intervention programmes that promote and assist parents in acquiring
the skills and knowledge required to parent children effectively, with or without behavioural
issues are a crucial to childcare. The Children’s Act, Act 38 of 2005, as well as the South
African Constitution declare that the needs of a child are important; therefore, when the
parents are equipped with adequate knowledge and skills, prevention of a family breakdown
could be achieved. This current research study, therefore, involves an exploration of the
experiences of parents, who had participated in parental intervention strategies, in the form of
positive parenting skills training.
