The fact that people move to another country to protect their families brings with many difficulties. The purpose of this research is to analyze the child-rearing traditions and difficulties of Syrian families under temporary protection with a preschool child and to reveal their experiences. The population of this research consists of the provinces of Kilis and Gaziantep. Its participants are refugee families with preschool children who fled the civil war in Syria and came to Turkey. These interviews were held to gather information about the participants' social life before the war, the war period, the time of migration, settling in Turkey and child education. The codes were created by analyzing the content of the collected data, one of the qualitative analysis methods, and the codes were combined under themes. As a result of the analysis of the data, the research findings were gathered under four main themes: pre-war, war and migration; integration of refugee families to Turkey; and child education; and broken families. The research findings were discussed with the relevant studies in the literature, and suggestions were made in line with the findings.
