A parent training program for the road safety education of preschool children

A main goal of the research project reported in this paper was the development and the evaluation of a road safety training program for preschool children on the basis of behavioral learning theories and empirical research findings. The training program was a media package which consisted of a film presenting the learning objectives and the training methods and a brochure giving concrete instructions about the training process. Both the film and the brochure describe the exercises which the parents should practice with their children directly in real traffic situations.
