“…Although the amount and type of parent involvement in programs has varied across studies, those programs which do provide parent training and support to participants have been effective in reducing levels of obstinate, aggressive, immature, and destructive behaviour in selected groups of children (Johnson & Breckenbridge, 1982;Johnson & Walker, 1987). Parent training has also been incorporated into school-based prevention programs (e.g., Hawkins, VonCleve, & Catalano, 1991;Wodaski, Filipczak, McCombs, Koustenis, & Rusilko, 1979). Parents have been trained in monitoring and supervising children's behaviour, the consistent use of discipline, and the appropriate use of rewards.…”
