| Abstract | The way parents model emotional expression, the way they react to children’s emotional expressions, and the way in which they teach children about emotions all play an important role in promoting emotional competence and behaviour in children. The Tuning in to Kids (TIK) program targets parents’ awareness and responses to emotions in themselves and their children, with the goal of improving parent–child relationships, enhancing children’s emotional competence and positively impacting children’s behavioural functioning. This paper explores how this emotion-focused parenting approach can be applied to understanding and intervening with children with disruptive behaviour problems. Particular aspects of TIK are discussed including paying attention to lower intensity emotions, parent emotion awareness and regulation, exploring influences of family of origin, and use of time in rather than time out. A case study is used to illustrate how the TIK program might be applied in parent work. The evidence for TIK is reviewed (both with clinical and community samples) as well as evidence for other program variants. Finally, program dissemination is outlined. This overview outlines how an emotion-focused approach to parent work is an alternative to the dominant behavioural parenting approaches for working with children with disruptive behaviour problems. |
