In this latter study , outcomes were better for girls and for children on medication .
Positive results on an inventory of child behaviour problems were reported for one small study ( n = 24 ) with the caveat that results were only positive when parent training was delivered to individuals and not groups .
Results for this outcome from a small study ( n = 24 ) suggested a long-term benefit for mothers who received the intervention at an individual level ; in contrast , fathers benefited from short-term group treatment .
Parent training may have a positive effect on the behaviour of children with ADHD .
It may also reduce parental stress and enhance parental confidence .
BACKGROUND Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder ( ADHD ) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by high levels of inattention , hyperactivity and impulsivity that are present before the age of seven years , seen in a range of situations , inconsistent with the child 's developmental level and causing social or academic impairment .

An evaluation of a behavioural parenting intervention for parents of gifted children.
Parents of gifted children identify a need for tailored parenting support , and gifted children have unique requirements and vulnerabilities . The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of a tailored behavioural parenting intervention , for enhancing the parenting skills of parents of gifted children and to assess the effect of these changes on the behavioural and emotional adjustment of their gifted child . A r and omised controlled trial of tailored Group Triple P - Positive Parenting Program was conducted with 75 parents of children identified as gifted . Results indicated significant intervention effects for the number and frequency of parent reported child behaviour problems , as well as hyperactivity in the intervention group , relative to a waitlist control . Parents also reported significant improvements in their own parenting style , including less permissiveness , harshness , and verbosity when disciplining their child . No intervention effects were evident for teacher reports , except for a trend in relation to hyperactivity . This study demonstrated that a tailored behavioural parenting intervention is effective and acceptable for parents of gifted children , and thus has clinical implication s for the delivery of parenting interventions for this population
