early parenting programme, Toddlers Without Tears, designed to be offered to all parents in the community and aiming to prevent externalising behaviours using anticipatory guidance before any developmental onset.
Therefore, it remains possible that a universal
early parenting programme coupled with an effective targeted family support programme for toddlers still at risk at age 2 — 3 years could substantially add to the population benefit of the targeted programme alone, by increasing community reach and uptake of the targeted intervention when needed.

early childhood interventions have found that most studies reported effect sizes on
parenting and child outcomes that were small to moderate.14 15 When comparing CfC and SSLP with other interventions, it is important to remember that the evaluations of these interventions measured effects on an entire population, rather than on
