● Greater opportunities for parents to learn proven parenting skills for challenging child behaviors such as noncompliance, whining, and tantrums
● Strategies for linking the five-week program skills to common parenting challenges, including screen time
● Understanding how the proven five-week program can help parents of children with ADHD
