The Value of Early SEL Strategies in Childhood Development
Maureen Kong received her doctorate from the University of Hong Kong in August 2014.
Her dissertation was an evaluation of the Incredible Years BASIC Parenting Program in a community clinic setting in Hong Kong. Parents of 52 preschool children with developmental delays were randomly assigned to either the IY program or waitlist control.
Assessments included self and spouse reports and video coding of parent-child interactions.
Results indicated significantly more frequent positive parent-child interactions during observed structured play, reports of less parental stress, improvements in parenting practices according to spouses/kin, and fewer child oppositional behaviors by parents and spouses/kin. Parent attendance rate and program and satisfaction was high.
