Abstract
The purpose of this study was to develop cost-effective parent training materials for use with specific behavior problems of normal preschool children. The training materials developed were evaluated using: (a) objective measures before and after treatment; (b) random assignment to experimental or delayed-treatment control groups; (c) cost-effectiveness information; (d) 1-month follow-up data; and (e) adequate description of procedures. Two experiments were conducted in which mothers were given brief training in altering incidents of either whining or noncompliance. It was reasoned that a pediatrician building on an already existing relationship with a child and his parents would find such a technique very useful.
