Online positive parenting programmes (PPP) effectively boosted parental confidence and reduced child behavioral issues. This accessible intervention proved beneficial, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, enhancing parenting skills for children aged 3-6 years.
Area of Science:
- Child Psychology
- Public Health
- Intervention Studies
Background:
- Positive parenting programmes (PPP) are effective but face accessibility challenges, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Online delivery offers a potential solution to increase accessibility for evidence-based parenting interventions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of an online positive parenting programme (PPP) compared to an active control group.
- To assess impacts on parental sense of competence, parenting styles, and child behavioral concerns in a pre-school population.
Main Methods:
- A randomized controlled trial involving 103 healthy caregiver-child dyads.
- Intervention group received live, online, group-based PPP; control group received general education via a communication app.
- Outcomes measured at baseline, 8, and 14 weeks using validated assessments.
Main Results:
- The online PPP group showed a significantly higher sense of parental competence at 14 weeks (p=0.008).
- Both groups adopted more authoritative parenting styles (p≤0.001).
- Significant reductions in children's emotional problems (p≤0.046) and behavioral problems over time were observed in both groups.
Conclusions:
- Online PPP is an accessible and effective primary preventive measure.
- The intervention successfully improved parental competence and mitigated child behavioral concerns.
- Online delivery models are viable for disseminating effective parenting support.

Parenting Styles
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.
