Purpose: Addressing the contemporary challenges of parenting and the necessity of redefining motherhood within changing socio-cultural contexts, this study aimed to identify the components of parenting among mothers with a Sahmgozar lifestyle, in line with Article 12 of the General Family Policies. Method: A qualitative design based on grounded theory was employed. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with ten mothers identified as having a Sahmgozar lifestyle, selected purposefully in 2024 from residents of Tehran using the Sahmgozar Lifestyle Questionnaire. Selection criteria included high Sahmgozar scores, having children, and willingness to participate actively in family life. Sampling continued until theoretical saturation was reached. Data were analyzed through Strauss and Corbin’s coding approach. Findings: Analysis yielded the central category of “realization of maternal agency in fulfilling optimal parenting roles.” The “existentially oriented maternal outlook” emerged as the contextual factor; “responsible and agentic maternal role-setting” was identified as the causal condition; and “establishing a secure communicative environment with the child” was determined as the key strategy. Conclusion The findings demonstrate that mothers with a Sahmgozar perspective are able to fulfill parenting roles more effectively, fostering harmony, emotional balance, and expansive interaction within family relationships. This study represents a scientific step toward operationalizing Article 12 of the General Family Policies into practical indicators for empowering mothers in their nurturing roles.
