Abstract

This study derives from an earlier one (Sutton, 1992) which examined the efficacy of training parents to manage difficult pre-school children via four methods: group, home visit, telephone, and waiting list/delayed intervention control. It is a replication of the telephone method of training; the author has never met any of the parents or children involved. Twenty-three children, seventeen boys and six girls, participated; of these one was aged 8, two were 7, one was 6, two 5 and the rest were under 5. They were randomly allocated to an immediate intervention group and a waiting list/delayed intervention control group.
