About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to test if the invest in Play (iiP) parent program can reduce problem behaviors in children and improve parenting practices in families with children who show challenging behaviors. The main questions it aims to answer is:
• Does the iiP program reduce children's problem behaviors?
Researchers will compare families in the iiP program to families in a control group to see if the program leads to better outcomes for children and parents.
Participants will be randomly assigned to either the iiP program group or the control group and complete surveys before and after the program to see if iiP is reducing children's problem behaviors.
