The number of 30 children was determined as the research sample through available sampling, and they were replaced in two separate groups (15 people in the test group and 15 people in the control group). Data collection tools included the children's adaptation questionnaire of smokers (2007), the childhood trauma questionnaire of Bernstein, et al. (2003), the distress tolerance questionnaire of Simmons and Gaher (2005), the grief experience questionnaire of Barrett and Scott (1998). The method of data analysis was done using frequency, variance, and standard deviation tables, and in the inferential part, covariance test was done using SPSS26 software.
