Abstract
This research aimed to study the effects of implementing a parent participation program to enhance Executive Function skills (EF) in early childhood. The target group consisted of 1) children aged 3–5 years enrolled in Pattana Nursery daycare during the second semester of the 2023 academic year, totaling 10 children, and 2) parents or guardians who wished to promote EF for their children aged 3–5 years and had basic technological skills for communication (via Line OA), with 10 participants. In each family, one parent participated in activities with the child and completed the assessments exclusively through the registered Line OA platform. 2) children aged 3–5 years enrolled in a daycare development nursery during the 2nd of the 2023 academic year, with 10 participants. The research instruments consisted of a parent participation program that promoted executive function skills in young children, a 12-item assessment form for executive thinking skills development in young children, and a parental satisfaction assessment form regarding the parent participation program for promoting executive thinking skills in young children. The data were analyzed using percentage, mean, and standard deviation.
The results showed that the average EF score of young children significantly improved after using the program, with a post-program average score of 34.10 compared to a pre-program score of 30.20. The improvements were observed in: working memory, where children could recall and accurately follow activity sequences in subsequent session, increased ability to focus and refrain from distractions, and successfully complete activities. Parents had satisfaction with the program at the highest level overall.
