Parent management training has been very successful in treating children with conduct problems. The programs have been found to generalize. and to be maintained for several years post the program being discontinued. Meta analytic studies of children with ADHD have found the effect size to be large (.87) for parent management training. Parent management training in the treatment of conduct disorder can be enhanced by simultaneously training the child in problem solving skills with the combined treatment even showing continued and greater improvement one year after the treatment occurred. This success occurs even if children and parents are trained in a group format
Currently, efforts are underway to make the programs more effective with cultural tailtoring and improving cost effectiveness

“Feeling that you have to be the perfect parent places a tremendous and completely unnecessary burden on you. If we’ve learned anything from the past half-century’s research on child development, it’s that children are remarkably resilient. You can make lots of mistakes and still wind up with great kids.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
