Developing a Hong Kong version of the "Happy Parenting Program - Round the clock" for parents who work long hours

INTERVENTION: 17 local kindergartens will be randomized into intervention and waitlist controlled groups using a random number table by the person responsible for the data analysis. Baseline assessments for all participants will take place 1 week prior to commencement of the program. Participants assigned to the intervention group will attend an 8‐session parent training program and the waitlist control group will attend the program after the intervention group has completed the program. The parent training program consists of eight 2 h sessions and covers topics including strategies to enhance the parent‐child relationship, strategies to help children regulate their emotion, strategies to increase positive behaviour, and strategies to manage misbehaviour. It is expected that participants will meet once per week over 8 weeks. There is no follow‐up beyond the 8‐week program.
