    abstract = {Optimization of children development through good parenting is an important effort to be able to
embody a qualified generation. However, in fisherman families, dysfunctional parenting practices are prevalent.
This research aimed to study the effect of fisherman community-based psychological intervention on the
increase of parenting quality. The research hypothesis was that there are differences in the dysfunctional
parenting before and after storytelling skill and positive parenting training. An action research was conducted
through needs analysis phase involving 25 fisherman families followed by phases of drafting an intervention,
implementing the intervention, reflection and evaluation of the intervention, designing an improved
intervention, implementing the improved intervention, reflection and evaluation of the improved intervention
and making recommendations. The research results showed that there was significant decrease in dysfunctional
parenting after getting storytelling skill and positive parenting training (lax discipline aspects: t = -4.27; p<0.001;
overreactivity aspects: t = -6.01; p<0.001 and verbosity aspects: t = -5.65; p<0.001). The sustainability of
intervention implementation requires supports of government officials and village institutions.}
