Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the Rational Positive Parenting Program (s-rPPP), a group-based intervention based on Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), can help reduce disruptive behaviors in children and improve parenting among mothers in Pakistan. The study focuses on mothers of children aged 6-12 years who show behavioral problems like aggression, defiance, and temper outbursts.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does the s-rPPP reduce disruptive behavior in children? Does it improve parents' beliefs, emotional regulation, and sense of competence? Researchers will compare a group of mothers receiving the s-rPPP to a wait-list control group to see if the intervention leads to positive changes in both parent and child behavior.

Participants will:

Attend weekly group sessions based on s-rPPP techniques. Complete assessments before and after the program using standardized tools. Be followed up to evaluate the program's effectiveness in improving parenting and child outcomes.
