To analyze data, analysis of variance with repeated measurements was used through SPSS version 26 software.

Conclusion: Based on the findings, it can be concluded that positive parenting training has been able to reduce the feeling of shame in divorced children; therefore, positive parenting training is suggested to reduce the feeling of shame in children.
