@acuriousgirl Here is a quote from the creator of the Incredible Years program: "My work is a synthesis of my origins on the East Coast, where the psycho-dynamic was pervasive, and my life here on the West Coast where there is a tradition of behaviorism. In the late 1970s barricades separated...

@acuriousgirl The Yale course is a version of Parent Management Training (PMT). There are other versions of PMT that might be a better fit for you because they include psychodynamics that are associated with attachment parenting. Incredible Years: Take a look at the Incredible Years...

@acuriousgirl Kazdin says that it is a mystery why almost every kid does not have really bad behavior since most parents give bad behavior lots of attention. I assume it is hard to get a grant to study why some kids engage in good behavior in this situation.

@leematthew1234 I just posted a full study link in a comment here.

@netwaxer I just posted the full study link in a comment here.

@acuriousgirl You refer to the course as "the coercive cycle" solution. However, it is a more general solution to the fact that parental attention increases behavior. You are saying that the Yale course is dog training and gentle parenting is not dog training. The course is based on the idea...

@ebuzi In my view that is not the Yale course method. The first thing you do is talk to the kid. Talk is attention. That's the opposite the what the course says to do.

@struggle101 A challenge involves saying something like "I bet you can't do X". The Yale course is free, if you want to see full instructions on challenges then just go to the course and play the video entitled "Simulations": https://www.coursera.org/learn/everyday-parenting

@damacri I think one interesting thing about Norway is that they have a national parent training program uses Parent Management Training-Oregon (PMTO) Model (now called GenerationPMTO). This program is one of the most effective methods for reducing externalizing behaviors according to...

@ebuzi Kazdin probably did not completely understand the actual practice of ABA. He may have been reinventing the wheel with those 3 features.

@ebuzi Here's what the instructor says about ABA vs the Yale Course aka the Kazdin Method: "The vast majority of the techniques that comprise the Kazdin-Method are based on applied behavior analysis. Yet, three features distinguish our approach. First, we give great attention to antecedents...

@johnnybabe I recommend this free video course. It's a version of the most effective parent training according to randomized controlled trials. This training is used for the parents of autistic children as well as parents seeking help for behavior problems in most neurotypical children.

@damacri Here is the full text: https://www.bc.edu/content/dam/bc1/schools/lsoe/sites/iecp/Child%20Development%20Research_Rey-Guerra.pdf It would be good if you added that to the OP, since multiple posters are asking for it. FYI: One can sometimes find the full text is available for free...

@grampster I just posted the full study in a comment here.

@julz123 Some interventions (parent training interventions) have a sizable effect on behavior problems according to randomized controlled trials. But, the long-term effects are difficult to study and inconclusive. So there is strong scientific evidence that nurture matters for behavior...

@rockhopper72 You might find this interesting: https://heckmanequation.org/resource/new-13-roi-share-graphic/

@rockhopper72 I have been thinking about one aspect your summary of child care science: Longer hours in daycare for kids age 1 and 2 (12 to 36 months old) is associated with behavior problems later in elementary school. And the association is statistically significant. This has shown up in...

@deseret Incredible Years is a good general parenting book. From the Yale course intro page: "Chances are your parenting is perfectly fine and working the way you would like. But if you have any frustrations with your child or would like improve your effectiveness in changing your child’s...

@deseret That video is from this free course. This is a version of the most effective parent training for behavior problems according to randomized controlled trials. So it is among best for solving or preventing behavior problems. The top rated parenting programs in these two lists are a...

@glowfood Try to avoid situations were multiple adults are all standing around gawking at the new baby and totally ignoring the preschooler. Try to get at least one adult to be giving the preschooler attention. Typically, a baby does not need the attention of more than one adult at a time...
