Finally, 40 mothers were selected and randomly assigned to the experimental group (20 mothers) and the control group (20 mothers). Participants in both groups completed parent-child relationship questionnaires and parental self-efficacy in three stages. The experimental group received a native 90-minute training package (researcher-made) for 8 sessions. Data were analyzed by repeated measures analysis of variance in SPSS software version 24. Findings: The results indicate the effect of the Indigenous Educational Counseling package on the score of the parent-child relationship (P = 0.003) with the effect size of 0.21, positive parenting self-efficacy (P = 0.024) with the effect size of 0.12, negative parenting self-efficacy (P = 0.033) with an effect size of 0.11 in the post-test stage and the stability of this effect was in the follow-up stage. Conclusions: The results of the study suggest evidence that training this program to prevent and improve the relationship of each parent with their adolescent sons reduces negative parenting self-efficacy and improves the parent-child relationship so that we see less conflict between parents and adolescent boys in society; This research can be useful for psychotherapists and counselors in the field of adolescent counseling and choosing the type of intervention to educate parents.
