Book Description
This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. Early anti-social behavior is a key risk factor for delinquency and crime throughout life. Early family/parent training (EFPT) is an important intervention/prevention effort. There are several theories why EFPT may cause a reduction in child behavior problems. For ex., EFPT programs are based on the notion that quality of parent-child relations will facilitate learning of control over impulsive and aggressive behavior, thus reducing disruptive behavior. Also, these programs attempt to change the social contingencies in the family context and/or provide guidance to parents on raising their children or general parent education. This review indicates that EFPT is an effective intervention for reducing behavior problems among young children. Illustrations.
