This study of a group-based programme, Incredible Years Toddler Parenting Programme (IYTPP), delivered to parents of children aged one to two years old, found positive short-term benefits of IYTPP including increases in parental praise and mental wellbeing and improvements in child development. The IYTPP (Webster-Stratton, 2008) is a 12-session programme for parents of children aged one to three years. It is underpinned by the same social learning theory principles and components as the Incredible Years basic parent programme.
Research context
This study involved a randomised controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of the IYTPP with parents of children aged one and two recruited by staff in disadvantaged areas across Wales participating in the Flying Start initiative. Specifically, it assessed whether the IYTPP had added benefit for parents of children over and above the other Flying Start services.
