Parenting Wisely – Young Child Edition

Mental Health In-home Parent Skill-Based Does Not Currently Meet Criteria

Parenting Wisely – Young Child Edition is an interactive computer-based program that aims to improve parenting skills, reduce child behavioral problems, and enhance relationships between parents and their children. The self-administered program guides parents through problem scenarios, question and answer sessions, and quizzes. The problem scenarios cover common family issues such as homework compliance, telephone interruptions, morning/bedtime routine, behavior in public, and peer/sibling conflict. Parents watch video enactments related to these problem scenarios. Each video enactment presents multiple possible solutions that have varying levels of effectiveness. The program is designed to help parents evaluate the effectiveness of each solution through an interactive question and answer session. These sessions highlight the parenting skills used in the video enactments and provide further information on beneficial parenting behavior. Parents complete quizzes at the end of each problem scenario and then advance to other problem scenarios.
