Brief Summary:
Sleep and discipline problems are the most common problems for parents of young children ages 2 to 5 years old and are the two concerns with the strongest relations to future child behavior problems The Parenting Matters program combines treatment booklets and telephone support to help parents deal with sleep or discipline problems Parents with concerns and who are interested in the study are identified during a visit to their family physician We the investigators at the University of Western Ontario expect that parents receiving treatment booklets along with usual care by their family physician will have greater reductions in their childs sleep or discipline problems improved parenting practices and greater reductions in child behaviour problems after receiving the Parenting Matters intervention compared to parents receiving usual medical care
Detailed Description:
About 1 in 5 young children ages 2 to 5 years has a significant psychosocial problem but over 80 do not receive treatment Without treatment up to half of these children will have problems into childhood and adolescence New methods of treating and preventing childrens psychosocial problems are needed
Sleep and discipline problems or child non-compliance are the most common problems for parents of young children and are the two concerns with the strongest relations to future child behavior problems Further parenting practices have consistently been linked to the development of psychosocial problems The Parenting Matters program combines treatment booklets and telephone support to help parents with sleep or discipline problems among young children
Objectives
Test the efficacy of the Parenting Matters program interventions for sleeping and bedtime behaviors Trial 1 and discipline Trial 2 in reducing problem-specific outcomes
Test the effects of the Parenting Matters program interventions for parents who are concerned about both their childrens sleep and discipline Trial 3 in reducing problem-specific outcomes related to sleep Group 1 and discipline problems Group 2 will be tested
Test the efficacy of the Parenting Matters program in improving parenting practices
Test the efficacy of the Parenting Matters program in reducing child behaviour problems in general
Examine predictors of treatment success
Method
All parents of 2 to 5 year-olds seen in a family practice for a routine appointment are asked to complete a psychosocial concerns checklist Parents who have concerns regarding their childs sleep Trial 1 how to discipline their child Trial 2 or concerns about both their childs sleep and discipline Trial 3 and meet the other study criteria are invited to take part in the study Mailed baseline assessment packages assess childrens behavior parenting practices and potential predictors of treatment success
Parents are randomized to usual care or the Parenting Matters program along with usual care The Parenting Matters program includes treatment booklets addressing either sleep or discipline problems and telephone coach support 3 calls over 6 weeks
Primary outcomes are parents ratings of their childrens sleep or discipline problems measured at post-treatment 7 weeks after baseline Parents repeat assessment packages at 3- and 6-month follow-ups
Goals Relevance
This research addresses the need for new ways of providing early interventions for young children that
reach the largest number of individuals in need
are cost effective and
time efficient
By addressing the most common issues facing parents of young children it engages parents in areas of direct relevance to them The program focuses on parenting practices thereby building family strengths that may have a lasting impact on child development Collaboration with family physicians builds on the ongoing positive relationships between parents and family physicians and provides a mechanism to reach a significant proportion of young children
