BEHAVIORAL

Parenting Program

The parenting program is an 8-month intervention for parents with preschool-age children designed to teach strategies and skills that help parents better manage their day to day stresses of parenting while also promoting healthy lifestyle behaviors. Topics will include stress management, child management, family routines, emotion regulation, and coparenting. In later sessions parents will be encouraged to draw on these general parenting skills to promote healthier nutrition and physical practices at home. The intervention will be delivered through in-person group sessions (n=12) and tailored one-on-one telephone calls (n=11). A complementary child program will be delivered to children while parents are attending the group sessions.
