Abstract

Introduction: Until today, the training of children has long been a major concern for parents. Hence, this study aimed to explain children socialization process based on parents’ experiences.
Method: This study was conducted using grounded theory approach. Participants were 30 parents living in Tehran City, Iran, selected via purposeful and theoretical sampling methods. Data were gathered via in-depth and semi-structured interviews during 2013-2014. Data were analyzed using Corbin and Strauss method.
Results: Four main processes including “dialogue”, “control”, “creating situation and managing relationships”, and “acquisition readiness” were emerged. While a good quality of dialogue patterns was used in some families, others did not believe on the function of dialogue. In other cases, the dialogue would be transformed to monologue. The control was done in different ways and pursues to protect children from social threats. Creating managed situation was a strategy used by parents to create, maintain, and promote desired behaviors and also to eliminate or alter undesired behaviors. Finally, given that the majority of parents were not prepared enough for parenting, they got readiness in the face of problems in different ways.
Conclusion: Generally, based on the findings of this study, the most important emphasize of parents in the process of parenting is protect children from the dangers and at the same time, trying to facilitate their progress by control and management of situation.
