Examining the Effects of Parenting Interventions on Children With Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD) and Their Parents

This study investigates the effects of parenting interventions on improving the emotion regulation and functioning of the children with AD/HD as well as their parents\' parenting practices and psychological well-being. Two kinds of parenting interventions are selected in this study, namely the Mindful Parenting and Tuning in to Kids programs. The value of this project lies in empowering parents through parenting techniques which they can use both for themselves and for their daily interactions with children. It is hoped to alleviate their stress from the role of parenting children with special needs, which may in turn lead to their better psychological well-being and greater harmony in the families.
