PARENT TRAINING FOR BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS IN YOUNG CHILDREN

There is a new study beginning to provide a different kind of parent training to fathers of school-aged children with behavior problems. The program will last for four sessions and will include the young children as well. It will provide important skills for fathers to effectively discipline their children and opportunities for fathers to practice these skills while participating in fun activities with their children.

The program will be run by a senior graduate student supervised by a licensed clinical psychologist at the Psychological Services Center of the CW Post Campus of Long Island University, which is located in Roslyn Heights. Classes will be held on weekday evenings at a mutually convenient time to be determined by the participants and the group leader.

Group participants should be fathers with at least one child between the ages of four and ten years who is experiencing mild to moderate behavior problems. Snacks will be provided for all participants and child care will be provided for the children during the adults-only portion of each session.
