Abstract

The research aims to measure the effectiveness of an E-mentoring program to educate mothers about the mechanisms of protecting children from sexual harassment and to identify the symptoms and methods that must be followed when kindergarten children are subjected to harassment, in order to answer the research questions, the semi- experimental approach was used because it is the most appropriate for the nature of the research to rely on changing something and studying the impact of this change on something else, and a random sample of mothers of children enrolled in kindergarten. The research tools consist of an electronic counselling program to develop mothers awareness on mechanisms to protect their children from sexual harassment in kindergarten by researchers, as well as a questionnaire to measure mothers awareness of mechanisms to protect their children from sexual harassment in kindergartens prepared by researchers. One of the most prominent findings of the research is that the indicative level of mothers awareness of the symptoms of sexual harassment of their children in kindergarten, their protection mechanisms, and the methods to be followed when sexually harassing children was less than 0.05, which indicates that there are differences in favor of the dimensional measurement, which proves the effectiveness of the program in improving mothers awareness of mechanisms to protect their children from sexual harassment in kindergarten.
