The Early Risers program improved academic and school behaviors in children with early aggression. Parent attendance positively impacted discipline methods, especially for severely aggressive children.

Area of Science:

  • Developmental Psychology
  • Child Psychiatry
  • Educational Psychology

Background:

  • Early onset aggressive behavior in children can negatively impact developmental trajectories.
  • Targeted interventions are needed to address behavioral challenges and improve outcomes for at-risk youth.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of the Early Risers prevention program for children exhibiting early-onset aggressive behavior.
  • To assess the program's impact on academic achievement, school behaviors, self-regulation, and parental discipline strategies.

Main Methods:

  • The Early Risers program included a summer school, teacher consultation, mentoring, social skills groups, and parent training.
  • A FLEX family support component was integrated, tailored to individual family needs.

  • Intervention effects were analyzed over 2 years, with comparisons to a control group.

    • Main Results:

    • Children in the program demonstrated significant improvements in academic achievement and school behaviors compared to controls.
    • Behavioral self-regulation changes were moderated by aggression levels, with the most pronounced effects in severely aggressive children.
    • Parents with higher program attendance showed enhanced discipline methods.

    Conclusions:

    • The Early Risers program is effective in improving academic and behavioral outcomes for children with early-onset aggression.
    • Tailored family support and consistent parent engagement are crucial for maximizing intervention success.
    • The program shows promise for mitigating long-term negative developmental trajectories associated with early aggressive behavior.
