Child Welfare Outcomes: Child/family well-being
Type of Maltreatment: Not specified
Target Population: Parents of children (age 3-8 years old) who have noncompliance or other conduct problems.
Brief Description:(The information in this program outline is provided by the program representative and edited by the CEBC staff.)
Helping the Noncompliant Child (HNC) has been rated by the CEBC in the area of Disruptive Behavior Treatment (Child & Adolescent). HNC is a skills-training program aimed at teaching parents how to obtain compliance in their children ages 3 to 8 years old. The goal is to reduce conduct problems and prevent subsequent juvenile delinquency and other problem behaviors. The program is based on the theoretical assumption that noncompliance in children is a keystone behavior for the development of conduct problems; and that faulty parent-child interactions play a significant part in the development and maintenance of these problems.
Parents attend sessions with their children, and trainers teach the parents core skills necessary for increasing compliance in their children.
