Background and Aim: The present study aimed to examine the effectiveness of life skills education on behavioral problems and resilience in working children in Karaj City, Iran. Research Methods: This study employs a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test-post-test approach involving two groups: an experimental group and a control group, each comprising 15 participants. The target population of the study consisted of male working children aged 7 to 13 years in Karaj who had social work files in child labor care centers during the 2023-2024 academic year. The sampling method used was census sampling. The research instruments included the Achenbach Teacher Report Form (2001) and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (2003) (CD-RIS). The life skills education program consisted of 12 sessions, each comprising three 45-minute sessions per week. The data were analyzed using SPSS (version 26). Results: The results indicated that life skills education had a significant impact on the behavioral problems of working children in Karaj, resulting in a reduction in problems across five out of eight general dimensions. However, this education did not have a significant effect on enhancing the resilience of the children. Discussions: To enhance the resilience of working children, longer and more comprehensive educational programs are necessary, accompanied by a focus on environmental factors. By implementing these changes, it is hoped that educational programs will have more positive effects on the resilience and overall life conditions of working children.
