What this Trial Is About
The goal of this clinical trial is to test if the invest in Play (iiP) parent program can reduce problem behaviors in children and improve parenting practices in families with children who show challenging behaviors. The main questions it aims to answer is: • Does the iiP program reduce children's problem behaviors?
