“…Both before and immediately following the intervention, parents were assessed with respect to the style and content of their reminiscing conversations with their children. We anticipated that oppositional behavior problems and parental psychopathology would be reduced for children in both conditions, due not only to the influence of PMT but also because child-directed play has been shown to reduce oppositional behavior problems (e.g., [34]). Our major hypothesis, however, was that parents in the ER condition (relative to the Control) would increase their elaborations and emotion references and that parallel changes would be found for the children, both when reminiscing with their parents and with a researcher.…”

To assess the effectiveness of providing training in elaborative, emotion rich reminiscing (emotional reminiscing, ER) as an adjunct to Parent Management Training (PMT) for parents of children (N = 38, M age = 56.9, SD = 15.8 months) with oppositional behaviors. Control parents received PMT and non-language adjunct intervention, child-directed play. All components of the intervention were manualized. Parents in both conditions received training in an abbreviated course of PMT. Parents in the ER condition additionally received brief training in discussing everyday past events with their child incorporating emotion labels and causes, "wh" questions, and detailed descriptive information. Parents in the control condition received training in allowing their child to lead during play sessions. Across both conditions, children's oppositional behaviors decreased between the beginning and end of training. Providing parents with training parents in an elaborative, emotion-rich reminiscing style resulted in greater parent and child use of elaborations and emotion references during shared conversations. Given findings in the literature of an association between parental emotion talk and children's emotional competence, developmental skills that are frequently compromised in oppositional children, the current pilot study has implications for interventions that broaden the focus of PMT.

“…Parenting programmes based on social learning principles have been repeatedly shown to be effective in reducing conduct problems in children and producing lasting positive change (e.g. Serketich & Dumas 1996; Sanders 1999; Prinz & Jones 2003; Kotler & McMahon 2004). These programmes have also proven efficacious in prevention studies (Webster‐Stratton 1998; Prinz & Dumas 2004).…”

Background This study used household survey data on the prevalence of child, parent and family variables to establish potential targets for a population-level intervention to strengthen parenting skills in the community. The goals of the intervention include decreasing child conduct problems, increasing parental self-efficacy, use of positive parenting strategies, decreasing coercive parenting and increasing help-seeking, social support and participation in positive parenting programmes. Methods A total of 4010 parents with a child under the age of 12 years completed a statewide telephone survey on parenting. Results One in three parents reported that their child had a behavioural or emotional problem in the previous 6 months. Furthermore, 9% of children aged 2-12 years meet criteria for oppositional defiant disorder. Parents who reported their child s behaviour to be difficult were more likely to perceive parenting as a negative experience (i.e. demanding, stressful and depressing). Parents with greatest difficulties were mothers without partners and who had low levels of confidence in their parenting roles. About 20% of parents reported being stressed and 5% reported being depressed in the 2 weeks prior to the survey. Parents with personal adjustment problems had lower levels of parenting confidence and their child was more difficult to manage. Only one in four parents had participated in a parent education programme. Conclusions Implications for the setting of population-level goals and targets for strengthening parenting skills are discussed.

“…It is also possible that instead of fearfulness other temperamental domains such as the self-regulatory capacity or anger proneness of the child might be better predictors of respectively the level of compliance or the level of active resistance in children. Kotler and MacMahon (2004), for example, found that children with higher levels of anxiety used less confronting and more passive noncompliance strategies, whereas children with higher levels of anger and aggression showed more direct and assertive types of noncompliance. Moreover, our study was conducted in a relatively homogeneous sample of Dutch, higher socioeconomic status families.…”

“…Regulatory capacities of the child (also referred to as effortful control) have been described as an important underpinning of compliance because to be compliant a child needs to be able to suppress a dominant response and/or initiate a subdominant response (Kochanska et al 2001). Also negative reactivity of the child, manifested in anger proneness or fearfulness, has been found to be related to lower levels of compliance (Braungart-Rieker et al 1997;Kochanska et al 2001;Kotler & MacMahon 2004). Most recent studies moved away from studying main effects of temperament to investigating the interplay between parental and child determinants in predicting moral development.…”
