Abstract
In U.S. society today, there are parents who do not know how to set and enforce clear and consistent expectations for their children’s behavior, parents who do not know how to supervise and monitor their children, parents who do not spend time talking to their children, parents who have no idea how to help their children succeed in school. In sum, there are parents who do not know how to parent their children, no matter how much they love them. There is evidence that training these parents in the basic skills of parenting offers a hope of strengthening their families as viable child-rearing units.
