The present study examines the feasibility and effectiveness of a short-term (five- to ten-session) school-based parenting intervention for children ages five to eleven. The intervention teaches parents to improve child behaviors at home and at school. Pre-test and post-test questionnaires were completed by parents at the beginning and end of the intervention from 2006 to 2010. Parent responses revealed significant improvement in child behavior at home and at school. It is suggested that parenting interventions be offered in preference to individual and group child therapy by school-based mental health professionals to effectively and efficiently address disruptive child behaviors in low-income urban schools.
