Synopsis
Childhood defiance - the most common complaint of parents seeking professional help for their children - exerts a tremendous amount of wear and tear on families. This video brings to life a proven approach to behaviour management and shows clinicians, school practitioners, parents and students how enhanced parenting skills can improve the parent-child relationship. Viewers see vignettes from actual parent training sessions and hear group leader Dr. Gwen Edwards discuss concepts of child management; outline principles of managing defiant behaviour; and review progress with group participants. Commentary provides a picture of why interactions with children are a "two-way street", effective incentive systems for motivating children and the crucial role of parent training. The manual serves as a mini-reference on parent training principles and methods. Selected behaviour management methods are reviewed. It concludes with lists of suggested readings and organizations that can serve as referral sources.
