Previous research in Thailand in the impact of the 101s Positive Discipline (The 101s) program has showed positive impacts on parenting practices and children’s executive function (EF) skills. While parents needed the most to enhance their parenting skills during the quarantine period of the Covid epidemic, they could not attend on-site training program. Therefore, the 101s program for training parents both on-site and online was developed. This study aimed to examine the impact of the 101s on-site and online program on 101s parenting practice, EF skills and social - emotional skills in preschoolers. The quasi-experimental research with one group pretest and posttest was designed. The sample was 19 parents and 19 preschoolers at National Institute of Child Health. The parent sample attended one on - site session of the 101s program, 4 E-Learning sessions and 7 online group discussions. The instruments included the 101s Parent Interaction Checklist, the 101s Social- Emotional Skills Checklist and MU.EF-101. The data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics including Wilcoxon Matched Pairs Signed Rank Test and Dependent Sample t-test. The results showed that when comparing to the pretest, parents significant had higher posttest - mean scores on 101s parenting practices and the preschoolers significantly had higher posttest - mean scores on EF and social– emotional skills (p < 0.05). The findings suggested that educators and organizations working with children and family could use the 101s online - training program as an alternative for promoting positive parenting skills in parents during quarantine period and in countryside.
