ABSTRACT
The changes experienced by the family in the last decades affect the organization, issues and the problems facing it to fulfill its educational functions in the care, support and guidance to its members. The parental training is as a working instrument to help families to face with these new situations. The modalities of training programs designed to develop competences or parenting skills are a useful resource for both professionals and families themselves. In order to understand and analyze different characteristics and approaches of parenting programs that are being used today, it has made a comparative study of fifteen parent education ten Spanish and five international programs. The analyzed programs deal with the parental training integrating a range of useful skills to support the families with the current challenges, with no significant differences between Spanish programs and other countries. The methodological approach is consistent in all cases, distinguishing in some cases an experiential approach and a technical focus in others. The evaluation and the proposal training for professionals to implement these programs are the neediest areas for improvement. This study raises new questions about the parental training that suggest further research interest in this area.
