“…Regardless of whether parents had children in conflict or not, over 70% of all respondents indicated a desire for seeking help with conflictual behaviors among their children. This finding is consistent with prior research (e.g., Brody & Stoneman, 1987;Ralph et al, 2003) showing that sibling conflict is among the most significant issues parents face in raising their children and they are motivated to seek assistance with the issue. It also indicates that despite not seeing themselves as directly linked to the problem, parents are seeking support to manage the problem.…”

“…Whether it is the age gap between siblings (Dunn et al, 1994;Howe & Recchia, 2006;Pepler, Abramovitch, & Corter, 1981), sibling birth order (Brody, Stoneman, MacKinnon, & MacKinnon, 1985;Howe & Recchia, 2006), developmental stage (Dunn, Creps, & Brown, 1996;Dunn & Munn, 1985;Tesla & Dunn, 1992), parental marital status and conflict (Harrist et al, 2014;Iturralde, Margolin, & Shapiro, 2013), parent gender (Kramer et al, 1999), peer influences (Bassett Greer, Campione-Barr, Debrown, & Maupin, 2014), or parental favoritism (Richmond, Stocker, & Rienks, 2005), the factors influencing sibling relationships are diverse and plentiful. Interestingly, however, although previous research has identified that parents consider their children's sibling relationships among the most significant issues they face (Ralph et al, 2003), few, if any, studies directly have asked parents what they believe are the underlying causes of their children's sibling relationship problems.…”

Parents play a crucial role in the development of their children's relationships with their siblings. Despite this, relatively few evidence-based parenting programs exist that specifically offer parents the strategies and techniques they desire and require for managing their children's sibling relationships. One way of bridging this gap is to design a tailored parenting intervention for sibling relationships that incorporates the parent voice in various aspects of program design. The current study recruited a convenience sample of 409 Australian parents to complete an online survey relating to their views on difficult sibling behaviors and what, if any, help they desire in dealing with the issue. The majority of respondents were Caucasian, middle-to upper-class mothers. Respondents predominantly attributed the causes of sibling conflict to their child's internal traits, but expressed strong desire for assistance with managing behavioral problems, especially when sibling relationships were marked by physical aggression. Respondents reported high levels of acceptability for positive, rather than punitive, parenting strategies and showed a clear preference for parenting interventions delivered in easy-to-access formats. The findings are interpreted in the context of guiding the development of a tailored parenting intervention for enhancing sibling relationships and reducing conflict.

“…For example in the present sample, 23% reported often or more regularly having "enjoyable discussions together" and 37% having "meals together as a family." These rates were low compared to the general population findings whereby Ralph et al, (2003) reported that 75% of parents indicated their adolescent "generally communicated well with adults" and 77% indicated that their adolescent "assisted with meals and dishes.

Youth substance use related problems are increasingly common, and families experience considerable stress in attempting to cope with these problems. A pilot study of 34 Australian parents from 21 families (38% sole parent families) participating in an 8-week group program, designed to assist families recover from youth substance use related problems, provided the context to explore family change processes. Participants reported a number of significant improvements over the course of the four groups that ran from late 2003 and through 2004. Regression analyses found general support for the program logic model in identifying significant associations between program-targeted parent changes and post-program improvements in stress symptoms and cohesive family behaviors. The study's limitations are noted.

“…Parent–adolescent conflict is common (Smetana, ). Most conflicts that occur within the parent–adolescent relationship are minor, but they differ from parenting of school‐aged children (Ralph et al., ). These common adolescent parenting issues include challenging of authority, increasing personal independence, sibling disagreements and negotiating new responsibilities (Laursen & Collins, ; Smetana, ).…”

AimThis study aimed to assess the Parent–Adolescent Communication Toolkit, an online intervention designed to help improve parent communication with their adolescents. Participant preferences for two module delivery systems (sequential and unrestricted module access) were identified.DesignUsability assessment of the PACT intervention was completed using pre‐test and posttest comparisons. Usability data, including participant completion and satisfaction ratings were examined.MethodsParents (N = 18) of adolescents were randomized to a sequential or unrestricted chapter access group. Parent participants completed pre‐test measures, the PACT intervention and posttest measures. Participants provided feedback for the intervention to improve modules and provided usability ratings. Adolescent pre‐ and posttest ratings were evaluated.ResultsUsability ratings were high and parent feedback was positive. The sequential module access groups rated the intervention content higher and completed more content than the unrestricted chapter access group, indicating support for the sequential access design. Parent mean posttest communication scores were significantly higher (p < .05) than pre‐test scores. No significant differences were detected for adolescent participants. Findings suggest that the Parent–Adolescent Communication Toolkit has potential to improve parent–adolescent communication but further effectiveness assessment is required.
