Parent Training For Children Research Articles

A collaborative model of training for parents of children with disruptive behaviour disorders.

The purpose of this paper is to highlight the heavy costs to individuals, families and the community of the disruptive behaviour disorders of childhood and adolescence. The financial costs of these potentially long-term behavioural problems bear down heavily on the health, social and education services. The human suffering they cause is immeasurable. However, not all is gloom. Psychological therapies, based broadly on social learning theory, have been shown to be effective in mitigating such problems for a significant number of children and their families. These methods, imbedded in a collaborative approach to training parents of children with conduct disorders, are illustrated in terms of their theoretical context and practical applications.

Specific parent training in alalia. 2: Study of experiences of parents in the seminar

Specified training for parents of children with developmental aphasia has been offered for several years. We want to guide the parents to a controlled stimulation of speech at home. We asked the former participants about their experiences with this training program. We also studied the realization of the program by parents in everyday life before their children started therapy. The experiences were mainly considered positive, realizing the program did not present difficulties.

Parental vs. Professional Assessment of Developmentally Delayed Children After Periods of Parent Training

This study reports changes in parents' abilities to assess their children's status in five developmental domains while participating in a parent-child training project. Thirty-one developmentally delayed children between the ages of 1 and 27 months at the time of the initial assessment were included. Each child was assessed four times at approximately 4-month intervals by two sources: his/her parent(s) and a team of professionals. No differences were found between parent and professional scores at any time in the motor, social, and language domains. Differences found in the initial test of the self-help domain disappeared after 4 months of parent training, while differences in the cognitive domain took an average of 12 months to resolve. The results support the hypothesis that parents tend to overestimate their child's developmental status.

Ecological effects of home-based, school-based, and community-based training of parents of children with learning and behavior problems.

A federally funded three year project to train parents of children with learning and behavior problems is discussed in terms of its ecological impact on parents, their children, their children's teachers, and on the community at large. The design of the project including the home intervention component, the school-based support group component, and the community component is briefly detailed. A comprehensive analysis of data on the effects of the various parent training components on parent, teacher and student perceptions of each other, as well as on student achievement, attendance and self-concept measures are reported. Overall, the data demonstrate the success of the project and support the ecological premise that making changes in one system surrounding a troubled child causes resultant changes in other systems surrounding the child.

In-home parent training, treatment of migraine headaches, and marital counseling as an ecobehavioral approach to prevent child abuse

A low-income family received in-home treatment after the mother expressed a desire to kill her daughter. The ecobehavioral approach focused on stress reduction of the frequency and duration of the mother's migraine headaches, on parent-child training, and on behavioral marital counselling. Follow-up data 1 yr after the beginning of services indicated maintenance of improvements in all areas. This was sufficient to terminate services. Also, the mother reported that she no longer had any negative feelings about her child, and the home environment lacked the stressors originally seen when the counselors began treatment. Finally, a consumer satisfaction questionnaire indicated a high level of satisfaction by the couple about the services offered by Project 12-Ways, an ecobehavioral approach to the treatment and prevention of child abuse and neglect.
