This study has designed implemented and evaluated an intervention to promote parental competence and healthy practices in families with children aged 2 to 5 years old, addressing parental self-efficacy an skills. This research followed the first three stages of the Medical Research Council framework for complex interventions: the theoretical, modeling and exploratory trial phases. A randomized control trial with parents of children better 2 to 5 years old was conducted. The program consisted of two hour long four sessions. Parents were grouped in small groups (7-8 participants) and guided by a facilitator whose role was to provide a participative and trusting atmosphere to share opinions and experience in healthy lifestyles and parenting. Data collection was performed at three time points (pre-intervention, post-intervention and follow-up) to asses the preliminary efficacy, acceptability and feasibility of the program.

Parenting self-efficacy (PSE) describes a parent's belief in their ability to perform the parenting role successfully. Tool to Measure Parental Self-efficacy (TOPSE) is specifically useful for the evaluation of parenting programs. TOPSE has 8 subscales about emotion and affection, play and enjoyment, empathy and understanding, control, discipline and boundaries, external pressures on parenting, acceptance of oneself and learning and knowledge.Regarding the validity and reliability of the scale varies between 0.80 and 0.89 per item, and of 0.94 as a whole (Kendall and Bloomfield, 2005).
Time frame: baseline (before starting the program), post-intervention (5 weeks) and follow-up (3 months after the end of the program)
Parenting styles are the differences strategies that parents use in their child rearing. Parenting style scale called Escala de Evaluación de Estilos Educativos (4E), measures the different types of parenting styles (democratic, authoritative, permissive or negligent).It evaluates, through 20 items on a Likert scale the posture of parents in the traditional dimensions of educational styles: affection and communication, demands and control.The reliability coefficient of Cronbach's alpha of the scale is 0.73 (Sánchez-Sandoval, León and Román, 2012).
Time frame: baseline (before starting the program), post-intervention (5 weeks) and follow-up (3 months after the end of the program)
They are difference practices that parents practice in there daily life that could promote healthy habits in their families.Questionnaire Meals in our household will be used to assess structure of family meals, problematic child mealtime behaviours, use of food as reward, parental concern about child diet, spousal stress related to child's mealtime behaviour, influence of child's food preferences on what other family members eat. The reliability coefficient of Cronbach's alpha is 0.77 (Anderson et al. 2012).
Time frame: baseline (before starting the program), post-intervention (5 weeks) and follow-up (3 months after the end of the program)
Comprehensive Feeding Practice Questionnaire is reported by parents and assess the children involvement in meal planning and preparation and parental role model focused on if parents actively demonstrate healthy eating for the child.
Time frame: Post-intervention (5 weeks).
Parents from the intervention group will be asked about their parental satisfaction with the program. Their opinion about its need, and whether they will be able to recommend it to friends or family, using a Likert scale of 0 to 10 developed by researchers, where 0 is nothing and 10 is completely, also were questions of this questionnaire.
Time frame: Post-intervention (5 weeks).
The Evaluation system of positive parenting programs was designed to evaluate the interventions in positive parenting in Spain (Manzano et al., 2012). It is a tool that professional could use in the implementation, methodology and content of the program. The system has 17 indicators that refer to different aspects of intervention programs such as general assessment, objectives, materials, evaluation or ethical aspects. The results will be collected in a table that will show the scores of all the indicators, the total score of each thematic block and the final score obtained in the instrument. In this way it will be observed what parts of the program have more power and which should be improved.
