Summary

This trial aims to see if adding three extra parent training sessions to an existing program can help families with children who have disruptive behavior disorders. The study will look at how this additional training can reduce parental stress

What is being tested?
The study tests if adding three extra CBT-based sessions focused on stress management to the School Readiness Parenting Program helps reduce parent stress and improve interactions with their child, compared to just SRPP alone.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves cognitive behavioral therapy and not medication, there are no typical drug side effects. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort discussing personal issues during therapy.

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).
