Improving preschool children's self-regulation through parenting support
Improving Brain-Behavior Markers of Preschool Executive Function through aGroup-Based Parenting Intervention for Low-Income Families
This study is looking at how a parenting program can help improve thinking and self-control skills in preschool kids from low-income families, and it’s for parents who want to support their children's development and reduce challenging behaviors.

What this research studies
This research investigates how a group-based parenting intervention can enhance executive function in preschool children from low-income families. By focusing on the relationship between parenting practices and children's cognitive development, the study aims to implement the Chicago Parent Program to improve self-regulation skills in young children. Participants will undergo assessments using various methods, including EEG and behavioral surveys, to measure changes in executive function and disruptive behaviors. The goal is to determine if better parenting can lead to improved cognitive outcomes for children at risk of behavioral disorders.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are preschool children aged 5 years from low-income families who may be at risk for disruptive behavior disorders.
Not a fit: Children who are not from low-income families or who do not exhibit signs of behavioral problems may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved self-regulation and reduced behavioral problems in preschool children from low-income families.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that parenting interventions can positively impact child development, suggesting potential success for this approach.
