Resumen

Several studies in the last decades provide scientific evidence about the benefits of family intervention at an early age. Carried out the implementation of the Aprender a Convivir en Casa [Learning to Live Together at Home] program (ACC), aimed for Spanish families with preschoolers to prevent behavioural problems, juvenile delinquency and harassment, as well as promote an optimal family functioning and parenting wellbeing; the aim of this study is to compare the effects on pre-schooler’s adaptive skills and behavioural problems through the BASC-P1 and BASC-T1, parents and teachers respectively. Parents of 18 three to five-year-old children participated in the study, 9 parents were assigned to parent training (PT, experimental group) and 9 to a waiting list group (WL, control group). The results indicate that the children of the PT group obtained significantly higher scores in social competence compared with the WL group. The effect sizes ranges are large in this dimension, ranging from 2.12 in adaptive skills and 2.57 in social skills. Moreover, no significant differences have been found in internalizing and externalizing problems. Related to the comparison between teachers and parent’s perspective in the PT group, there is an agreement in some aspects of the social competence factors but there is no arrangement in the conduct problems dimensions, coinciding with other current research. Based on the parent’s perception of ACC efficacy, it is found high satisfaction and benefits after participating. These results suggest that ACC family program may be useful to promote family functioning and wellbeing and preschooler’s social competence
