In this study it was aimed to reveal impact of the Father Training Program applied to the fathers with children attending the Pre-school education on the father-child relations. The father of the children who were showing a normal developmental phase attending the kindergartens runned by the Ministry of National Education in the centre of Kilis Province in Turkey have been included in this study (40 experimental and 40 control, totally 80 fathers). The study was conducted in experimental design with pre-test, post-test, retentivity control group. The fathers in experimental group received the Father Training Program once a week for twelve weeks. The fathers in control group were not given any training program at all. In the study, the scale called "The Scale for Parents -Child Relations- Father Form" adapted into Turkish by Uzun and Baran was used. Covariant analysis with one factor (ANCOVA) and t test are used to analyse the data. After the study, as a result of the educational program given, it was observed that there is statistically significant differences between the father's level of relations with their children in experimental group and the fathers in control group (p<.01). It is seen that the difference between average point of the pre-test-post-testretentivity of the fathers in experimental group (p>.01) is insignificant and that the effects of Father Training Program is still going on.
