“…The present findings are similar to the findings of a previous study on a face-to-face parenting group program that showed reductions in children's internalizing and externalizing behavior problems mediated by parenting improvements (Altafim et al, 2021). Then, the parenting practice of mothers' emotional and behavioral regulation was the intervention core mechanism that also includes coercive parenting.…”

The randomized controlled trial examined the efficacy of a personalized remote video feedback parenting program to improve parenting and child behavior outcomes. Ninety-two mothers of 2-6-year-old children were randomly allocated into the intervention group (n = 50) and waiting-list control group (n = 42). The Strengthening Bonds preventive program was performed to improve positive parenting. The mothers participated in one in-person group session. During six weeks, the mothers received, via smartphone, remote personalized video feedback about their mother-child interactions in a play situation. Parenting was the primary outcome, and child behavior was the secondary one. Pre-and post-intervention assessments were performed. The generalized estimating equation analysis showed no significant results in the intentionto-treat (ITT). In the treatment-on-the-treated (TOT), there were statistically significant effects of the intervention decreasing mothers' coercive parenting practices and child behavior problems. The structural equation model analysis showed that the intervention-induced reductions in children's behavior problems were mediated by improvements in coercive practices. There was a direct effect of the intervention to improve the parental sense of competence. Despite the null findings in the ITT analysis, the TOT analysis showed promising results to strengthen positive parenting behaviors and beliefs and reduce child behavior problems.

“…It was found that the gender of the children was not a determinant in the child-rearing attitudes of the mothers, and the time spent at home during the quarantine process did not affect the child-rearing attitudes of the mothers in relation to the gender of the children. It was stated in various studies ( Altafim et al, 2021 , Hu and Feng, 2021 ) that the gender of the children was not determinant in the attitudes of mothers towards their children, and mothers displayed similar child-rearing attitudes towards both their sons and their daughters. On the other hand, studies have found that mothers' child-rearing attitudes were more moderate in relation to the gender of their children, while fathers had different child-rearing attitudes, in that they were more authoritarian towards boys ( Ziv & Arbel, 2021 ).…”

The present study aims to examine the impact of the time spent by mothers at home with their children during the quarantine period that was implemented due to the COVID-19 pandemic on the mothers’ child-rearing attitudes, taking into consideration some variables and the experiences of mothers. The study was designed using embedded mixed design, in which qualitative and quantitative research methods were used together. The quantitative research group consisted of 673 mothers and the qualitative research group consisted of 16 mothers. The research data was gathered online using the Lime Survey platform, and the interviews with the mothers were also held online. Demographic information form, the Child Rearing Attitude Scale, and a semi-structured interview form were used as data collection tools. Moderator variable analysis was used for the quantitative research data and descriptive analysis was used for the qualitative research data in support of the quantitative data. The findings revealed that the mothers’ child-rearing attitudes changed depending on the variables concerning the children; however, the quarantine period instituted due to COVID-19 had an impact on the mothers’ child-rearing attitudes depending on the variables of age and number of children. The qualitative findings obtained from the interviews supported the quantitative findings. However, it was revealed that the mothers’ attitudes towards their children underwent changes during the quarantine period under COVID-19.

“…These interventions aim to prevent the problem behaviors of children, increase the parenting satisfaction and ability of parents, and strengthen the bond between children and parents. The vital role of parenting intervention programs in reducing and preventing the problems of children has been confirmed as they help parents reduce the internalization and externalization behaviors of children by improving parental cognition and emotional and behavioral regulation of parenting (Altafim et al, 2021). Among these programs, Triple P has shown its distinguishing advantages because of its evidence-based features and popularity based on public health models (Liu and Guo, 2020).…”

Background: Social, emotional, and behavioral problems in childhood are key predictors of persistent problem behaviors throughout the life courses of individuals. Early parental intervention training, as an important preventive measure, plays a critical role in improving the social, emotional, and behavioral (SEB) development of children.Method: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to analyze the intervention effects of the latest literature on Triple P (Positive Parenting Program), which is a multilevel system that provides treatment and prevention for children at risk of social, emotional, and behavioral problems via parenting approaches to enhance the parenting knowledge, skills, and confidence of parents. Since the literature on Triple P from 1970 to 2012 has already been systematically reviewed, this study searched the literature from 2013 to 2020 from the Web of Science, EBSCO, ERIC, MEDLINE, CNKI, and Triple P Evidence-Base website using multiple search strategies. This study differs from the existing research by its inclusion criteria of studies that use experimental designs or quasi-experimental designs. A total of 37 studies were included in the final analysis, and STATA 16.0 was used for evaluation while RevMan 5.3 for risk of bias assessment.Results: The results show that Triple P can promote the social competence of children (SMD = 0.274) and prevent their emotional (SMD = −0.254) and behavioral problems (SMD = −1.38) to a certain extent. Simultaneously, the proximal effects on parents mainly included changing negative parenting styles (SMD = −0.46), reducing parenting conflicts (SMD = −0.311), and improving parenting efficacy and self-confidence (SMD = 0.419). The distal effects on parents included reducing the psychological adjustment problems of parents (SMD = −0.265), improving parent–child relationships, and reducing parent–child conflict (SMD = −0.714). However, the meta-analysis results did not show a significant effect of Triple P on improving the marital relationship quality and satisfaction of parents (SMD = 0.063). Components of the program intervention, including intervention level, service delivery format, service method, and program implementation setting, and the age of the children were crucial moderating factors on the outcomes of Triple P.Conclusion: This study systematically reviewed the latest Triple P intervention literature and found the significant effectiveness of Triple P on the SEB problems of children and parenting outcomes and the moderators of the effect size.
