Abstract

This chapter examines the first theme that developed from my research: “the importance of learning and using parenting strategies”. It examines the difference between parents who attended the PEEP programme and those who attended The Incredible Years and Triple-P programmes. Parents reported positive changes, especially the effective adoption of parenting and behaviour management strategies, along with increased parental confidence.
