The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of Rational Emotive Parent Education Program (REPEP) on parents' irrational beliefs and parenting stress. In the study, a semi experimental research design with a pre test, post test and follow up measures on experimental and control group was used. While the first factor shows the independent procedures (like experimental and control groups) other factors show the repetitive measures in various conditions (like pre test, post test and follow up measures) in relation to the dependent variable. It was studied at a state school in spring of 2013 2014 educational years. The experimental group consists of a total of 26 parents, including 4 fathers and 22 mothers. These groups include volunteer parents who scored a half standard deviation above in Parents' Stress Scale (PSS) and Parents' Irrational Beliefs Scale (PIBS) While the experimental group (n=13) received a 7 week Rational Emotive Parent Education Program, the control group (n=13) had no such education. The study results show that upon the experimental practice and follow up processes, there is a decrease not only in parenting stress, but also in irrational beliefs of the experimental group. The results are also in accordance with the related literature.
