Sixty parents of obese elementary school-aged children were recruited and assigned into control and experimental group, thirty each. The experimental group received the 4- week family role promotion program consisting of 4 activities conducted once a week within 4 weeks while the control group received a regular program. The data were collected using child caring behaviors developed by the researchers. The internal consistency reliability of the research instrument was calculated with Cronbach<sup>,</sup>s alphas coefficient of .97. The data were analyzed using percentage, standard deviation, and dependent t-test. Results: the study shown after completion of program, the parents in experiment group had statistically significantly higher average caring behavior scores than those at pre-program at P< .001. Additionally, post intervention program, the average caring behavior scores of the experimental group also statistically significantly higher than those of the control group at P < .001.</p>}, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL OF SOUTHERN TECHNOLOGY}, author={Pichairat, Aussaree and Chansungnoen, Jiranuwat}, year={2018}, month={Nov.}, pages={95–102} }
