Abstract:
This study assessed the effects of the Survival Training for Parents (STP) program on parental attitudes and on the self-esteem and manifest anxiety of preadolescent children. The STP program presents Adlerian parenting principles in six 21 /2 -hour sessions to the parents of preadolescents, as an outreach service of a community mental health center. Participants were selected from volunteers from two school districts in northeastern Ohio. Parents in the experimental condition participated in the STP program while control group parents were wait-listed. Eighteen parent-child pairs completed pre and posttesting. Analyses of covariance using the pretest as covariate showed that STP was effective in changing parent attitudes of confidence (p <.01), causation (p <.01), and understanding (p <.05) at posttest. The children of participants in STP improved in self-esteem in school ( p <.05) at posttest. The results are compared to other parent education outcome studies.

Authoritarian Parenting
This style is strict and controlling, with little room for open dialogue. Authoritarian parents demand obedience and often enforce rules with minimal warmth. Children raised this way may lack social skills and initiative, usually comparing themselves to others unfavorably.
