TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - A multimedia program helps parents manage childhood aggression JO - Clinical pediatrics A1 - Scholer, Seth J. A1 - Cherry, Raymond A1 - Garrard, Henry G.

A1 - Mace, Rachel A1 - Greeley, Nicci SP - 835 EP - 840 VL - 45 IS - 9 N2 - Participants were 65 parents of 6- to 18-month-old children presenting for a well child checkup between September 2002 and February 2003 to one of two private pediatric offices. The intervention was a 30-minute multimedia program, Play Nicely, viewed at home, which teaches the basics in childhood aggression management. One year after intervention, parents were asked, "Do you feel that the CD program was helpful in managing aggressive behavior in your child?" Most (65%) parents who watched the program agreed that it helped them manage aggression with their own child (strongly agree, 31%; agree, 34%; uncertain, 28%; disagree, 7%; and strongly disagree, 0%). An inexpensive, brief, independently viewed, multimedia program helps parents manage aggression in their young children as long as 1 year after receiving it from their pediatrician. An easily implemented intervention may contribute to violence prevention efforts.
