Multi-method psycho-educational intervention for preschool children with disruptive behavior: preliminary results at post-treatment
Article Abstract:
Early school-based work with children showing very disruptive behaviour can bring substantial improvements in self-control, home adaptive functioning and social skills, according to research based on annual screenings of preschool children at kindergarten registration. It was established that a behavioural parent training scheme offered through the school to families of children at high risk of disruptive behaviour does not succeed in helping these families with the children's behaviour difficulties. This is mainly because many families fail to attend the scheme or do so only inconsistently.

The effects of primary division, student-mediated conflict resolution programs on playground aggression
Article Abstract:
The effects of student mediation on weekly observations of physically aggressive playground interactions were determined using a multiple baseline across three schools. On year follow up observations were made to determine the long term impact on playground aggression. A standard mediation program was introduced to the study. Mediation was found to produce an immediate and sustained reduction in observations of physically aggressive playground behavior, and this was still evident the following year.

Large group community-based parenting programs for families of preschoolers at risk for disruptive behavior disorders: utilization, cost effectiveness, and outcome
Article Abstract:
A comparison of counselling programs for preschool children with disruptive behavior disorders reveals that community or group-based parenting is more effective than the clinic-based individual programs in improving the behavioral problems of such children. Community-based programs were nearly six times more economical than the clinic-based programs. These results are based on the responses received to questionnaires sent to families of kindergarteners at different schools.
