Parental role has always carried a big responsibility, however today, this role has become even more demanding as many new changes had occurred. With the increase of information and knowledge in the field of humanistic and developmental psychology, there appears to be a great need for parenting education. Parents are expected to understand their child, to apply appropriate parenting behaviour and acquire new knowledge and skills needed for raising their child. The acquisition of new knowledge and skills needed for raising a child is exactly what helps the parents to properly engage in raising their children. Moreover, parents’ approach to upbringing influences the outcome of such upbringing, that is child’s behaviour and personality. The role of the society is also important in children’s upbringing and its help enables parents to employ appropriate parental behaviour. The society needs to provide various parent education programs and parenting counselling through which parents can enhance their parental role, improve their parenting skills and acquire knowledge needed for upbringing. Parent education program can be achieved through different organizational forms, such as: parenting schools, courses, workshops, counselling, discussion groups, and its main goal is to give parents insights into consequences of particular parenting behaviours and methods, and to provide them with the guidelines for appropriate approach to upbringing. While there are many parent education programs in the world, only few are operating in Croatia, some of which are: Growing Up Together – parenting program established by UNICEF and Parenthood and Early Development – parenting program established by Tomislav Kuljiš. The conducted research aimed to question parents’ opinion about importance of acquiring knowledge needed for upbringing and parents’ experiences gained during the parent education program. Interviewing the participants gained the insight into the way in which parents inform themselves about upbringing, how familiar they are with various parent education programs, what insights they have acquired during these programs and which of these insights were of use to them and in which ways they help them in upbringing.
