Parent Management Training : It's Worth the Effort!

Do you know that Parent Management Training is one of the most successful methods for changing child behavior?

Parent Management Training

Parent management training has a powerful effect on the disruptive behavior of children with TS. This training can help with explosive outbursts at home.
In a 2006 study, one group of parents was taught 3 main strategies for behavior management:
a) consistency in their reactions to explosions and outbursts
b) clarity in explanation of consequences
c) choice of positive, rather than negative, consequences.
A second group of parents received no training whatsoever. Results tabulated at the end of the 10 week study showed that the trained parents reported 32% fewer disruptive incidents than the un-trained parents.
