Parenting for Lifelong Health - Thailand

Parenting programmes include developing positive caregiver-child interaction through child-led play and emotional communication, praise and rewards to encourage positive child behaviour, limit-setting behaviours such as effective instruction giving and establishing consistent household rules, and non-violent discipline strategies to replace harsh parenting and corporal punishment.

The control will be an inactive condition of standard care at the time of the intervention. 'Standard care' may include access to Parent Schools in Mother and Child Health clinics at public hospitals, which are provided in some provinces and districts in Thailand.
