Background:Parents of children with developmental delays (DD) typically report elevated levels of parental stress compared with parents of typically developing children. Children with DD are also at high risk for exhibiting significant behaviour problems.
Objective:Many geographic locations are without services and staff available to provide treatment for children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
The study evaluated the efficacy a parent training intervention for children with autism based on the TEACCH model. Twenty families were randomly assigned to the treatment or waitlist group. All families were compared at pre- and post-treatment on formal dependent measures.
To inform parenting research and aid educators seeking to deliver programs that support effective parenting, this study explored types of information and communications technology (ICT) used to fulfill childrearing goals.
Previous research has explored the efficacy and effectiveness of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) parent training interventions. Recent trials of such programs have not replicated earlier compelling outcomes, yet the reasons for the failure of such programs to produce desired effects are unclear.
Objective: To examine demographic differences in frequency of use of technologies and interest in receiving nutrition information via technology by low-income parents and caregivers. Design: Descriptive, cross-sectional study. Setting: Head Start and state-funded child care programs.
The capacity for a parent to self-regulate their own performance is argued to be a fundamental process underpinning the maintenance of positive, nurturing, non-abusive parenting practices that promote good developmental and health outcomes in children.
Objective:This study examined the efficacy of Triple P Online (TPOL), an eight-module intensive online positive parenting program for parents of children with early-onset disruptive behavior problems.Method:One hundred and sixteen parents with 2–9-year-old children displaying early-onset disrupti
A successful transition to parenthood is a building block for early positive parenting. In this paper the transition to parenthood is approached in the context of the life-span model of motivation (Salmela-Aro, 2009) illustrated by longitudinal findings.
This paper introduces the context and contributions of this special issue. The essence of promoting positive parenting is seeking not only to reduce the impact of risk factors, but also to increase that of protective factors, by reinforcing the parenting role.
