Summarizing the main findings, it appears that the intervention program introduced improvements in the parenting style and the quality of life dimensions of our participants but did not succeed in bringing a statistically significant change, as initially expected. Most importantly, these positive outcomes, although not statistically significant, occurred in the absence of other system changes, and this makes the current program even more successful. The major success of the intervention is that it achieved changes in the intervention group and not in the control group. Most importantly, the program had overwhelming acceptance and was regarded as beneficial to those who participated. Results though are mixed in terms of effectiveness, and further research is necessary to capture these changes in larger samples. In our study, we captured the small changes using a cluster analysis, and this offered important information and directions for future research. Specifically, a decrease in parental authoritarianism and an increase in support were observed, which is in accordance with Carroll [Also, an increase in child–parent interactions as well as emotional and general well-being was observed. As the findings of Maddah’s et al.’s [Certainly, the intervention program yielded positive outcomes, notably enhancing the quality of life (QoL) for the children involved in the study and their families. These findings align with a study conducted by Ginieri-Coccossis et al. [
