For those randomly assigned to the additional parenting stress modules, parents will receive the same SRPP as well as three additional modules to target parenting stress. The modules will incorporate practices based on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Group II: Traditional School Readiness Parenting ProgramActive Control2 Interventions

Parents will be required to attend a School Readiness Parenting Program for 1.5 to 2 hours weekly. Sessions include behavioral management strategies and school readiness. Behavior management strategies are delivered to the entire group via a Community Parent Education Program (COPE) style modeling problem solving approach; parents contribute to the didactic discussion. The behavioral management content is derived from Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT).
