“…In other words, training the parenting skills help the parents to reduce their children's behavior problems. The results of the present study are consistent with those of Gimpel et al (2002) Previous studies have also shown that unmodified behavioral parenting skills training program-based intervention is effective in reducing the symptoms of the internalizing and externalizing problems of the pre-school children (Cartwright-Hatton et al, 2005). Barrett et al (1996) concluded that after 12 months of the intervention program, 70.3% of the children who received cognitive-behavioral interventions, and 95.6% of the children that their families received the combined cognitive-behavioral intervention and family management training in the treatment group did not show the symptoms of anxiety disorders in the post-test compared to the control group.…”

This study investigated the effectiveness of parental skills training using a cognitive-behavioral method in order to reduce the behavioral problems of the preschool children. This was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design. The statistical population of the study consisted of all parents of the preschool children in Isfahan in educational year of 2014-2015. To this end, 32 parents (64 persons) who obtained 1.5 SD higher than the reported mean in response to the behavioral problems of their children, were randomly selected and divided into two groups of 16 parents (32 persons) as the treatment and control groups based on the random distribution. After conducting the pre-test for both groups, the treatment group received parental skills training using a cognitive behavioral method for six sessions during one month; however, the control group received no training. Then, for both groups, post-test was implemented and follow-up study was conducted. In order to assess the behavioral problems of the children, Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) was used. Finally, the data were analyzed using the analysis of covariance. The results showed that the mean of the treatment group was significantly reduced compared to that of the control group in terms of the behavioral problems, anxiety, depression, somatization, social problems, thought problems, attention problems, rule-breaking behaviors, aggressive behaviors, and other problems. It could be concluded that cognitive behavioral parenting skills training was an effective way to reduce the children's behavioral problems.

“…In the past two decades children's behavioral problems, including externalizing and internalizing have received considerable attention from researchers (Cartwright, Hatton, 2005). Since 1991, Achenbach and his students have conducted many studies using the Children's Behavioral Check List (CBCL) as the instrument to identity children's behavioral problems.…”

In the family, parenting style directly impacts children's behavior and symptoms of behavior. There is ample evidence to support the correlation between parenting style and children's behavioral problems. However, parenting style and children's behavioral problems have received little attention and research interest in Iran. Therefore, the current research is deemed necessary and timely. Thus, the major purpose of this current study is to investigate the relationship between parenting style and children's behavioral problems. Parenting styles (Authoritative, Permissive, and Authoritarian) were assessed by Parent Authority Questioner (PAQ) and children's behavioral problems (internalizing and externalizing symptoms) were assessed with the Children's Behavior Checklist (CBCL). Respondents comprised 681 mothers of children in primary school (347girls and 334 boys) who were identified through their children selected by cluster sampling in the Iranian capital of Tehran. The results of the present study indicate that there is a significant correlation between Authoritative and internalizing (r= -.32, p<.001) externalizing (r= -.28, p<.001), Permissive and internalizing (r= .12, p<.001), externalizing (r= .12, p<.001), Authoritarian and internalizing (r= .25, p<.001), externalizing (r= .26, p<.001). In conclusion Authoritative parenting style with high responsiveness and high demanding in parenting behavior has shown to be directly related to less children's internalizing and externalizing symptoms.

“…This would suggest that a broad-based parenting intervention, focussing on gentle, predictable child-management, in addition to anxiety-specific material, might be advantageous. Accordingly, Cartwright-Hatton and colleagues 17 examined the impact of a standard behavioural parent training (BPT) programme on the internalising symptoms of a group of children aged 3-8 years, who, although referred primarily with externalising difficulties, also experienced substantial internalising difficulties. After receiving standard BPT, internalising symptoms reduced significantly, and to the same degree as externalising symptoms.…”

A definitive version was subsequently published in Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, [VOL 50, ISSUE 3, (2011) Method: Families of 74 anxious children (aged 9 years or below) took part in a randomised controlled trial, which compared the new 10-session, group-format intervention with a wait-list control condition. Outcome measures included blinded diagnostic interview, and self-reports from parents and children..Results: Intention to treat analyses indicated that children whose parent(s) received the intervention were significantly less anxious at the end of the study than those in the control condition. Specifically, 57% of those receiving the new intervention were free of their primary disorder, compared to 15% in the control condition. Moreover, 32% of treated children were free of any anxiety diagnosis at the end of the treatment period, compared to 6% of those in the control group. Treatment gains were maintained at 12-month follow-up.Conclusions: This new parenting-based intervention may represent an advance in the treatment of this previously neglected group.
