Summary

Parenting interventions play a crucial role in promoting positive parent-child interactions, which are fundamental to fostering child well-being. Over the years, substantial progress has been made in understanding the importance of these interactions, particularly in the context of early childhood development. Positive parent-child interactions lay the groundwork for various aspects of child development, including socioemotional skills, academic performance, and mental health. Evidence-based parenting programs have demonstrated strong effectiveness in promoting positive parenting and preventing child maltreatment. The Parenting for Lifelong Health (PLH) program has yielded positive outcomes in many countries. This project aims to culturally adapt the PLH program and conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to assess its feasibility and effectiveness in Kuwait.
