Impact of courses on children’s behaviour felt six months on

NEARLY six out of 10 parents who underwent a positive parenting course did not see their children’s behaviour as a problem six months later, new research has shown.

The parents had taken part in the Incredible Years parenting programme which teaches behaviour management techniques to adults, teachers and children.

Across the country, up to 11,000 children and their parents are taking part in the 14-week early intervention courses which are run by Archways Ltd.
