he intervention was based on the Triple P program, which directs the parent to
promote nurturing behaviors, a low conflict environment, and children’s social
and emotional well-being through positive parenting practices (Sanders 1999).
CAPES confidence
The program included seven online downloadable podcasts, ranging from 9 to 14
minutes, discussing parenting skills revolving around disruptive behaviors (e.g.,
dealing with aggression, sharing). The format of these podcasts was
conversational, in which the presenter asked questions of the parenting expert
relevant to the topics discussed. Podcasts were available for participating
parents in 3 phases over 2 weeks (2 were available immediately, the next 3 after
5 days, and the final 2 an additional 5 days later). Parents were e-mailed when a
new set of podcasts was available and were given an additional 2 weeks to
implement the strategies. Podcasts remained available throughout the study.
