The child behaviour checklist (CBCL) is widely known for its reliability in identifying behavioural / emotional problems in preschool children, but it has not been validated for use in sub-Saharan Africa.

While the CBCL is applicable for children aged between 1.5 and 5.5 years [3], the preschool Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire and Rutter Child Behaviour Problem scales are not extended to children under 2 or 3 years of age [4, 5].

Longitudinal research indicates that young children who develop disruptive behaviour problems are at an elevated risk for a host of negative outcomes including chronic aggression and conduct problems, substance abuse, poor emotion regulation, school failure, peer problems and delinquency.4, 5 Early - appearing externalizing behaviours can disrupt relationships with parents and peers, initiating processes that can maintain or exacerbate children's behavioural problems.6 Therefore, very early intervention (e.g., in day care, preschool, or kindergarten) can be important in interrupting the potential path to chronic aggression in children who display aggressive behaviour or who are at risk for developing aggressive behaviour.

This pathway is characterized by three elements: the onset of conduct problems (such as developmentally excessive levels of aggression, noncompliance, and other oppositional behaviour) in the preschool and early school - age years; a high degree of continuity throughout childhood and into adolescence and adulthood; and a poor prognosis.1, 2 The most comprehensive family - based formulation for the early - starter pathway has been the coercion model developed by Patterson and his colleagues.3, 4 The model describes a process of «basic training» in conduct - problem behaviours that occurs in the context of an escalating cycle of coercive parent - child interactions in the home, beginning prior to school entry.

8 PMT has been applied to a broad array of child problems and populations, but it has been primarily employed in the treatment of preadolescent (i.e., preschool - to school - age) children who exhibit overt conduct - problem behaviours such as temper tantrums, aggression, and excessive noncompliance, and it is in this area that PMT has the greatest empirical support.

Recent reviews11, 12 have identified a number of PMT interventions that have a strong evidence base for improving conduct - problem behaviour in preschool - age children, including Helping the Noncompliant Child, 24 the Incredible Years, 25 Parent - Child Interaction Therapy, 26 Parent Management Training - Oregon, 27 and Triple P (Positive Parenting Program).28

In general, parenting programs for young children have varied based on the theoretical orientation of the intervention model (e.g. social learning, 6 attachment7), the developmental status of the child (e.g. prenatal, infancy, preschool - age), and the breadth of child behaviours targeted for intervention (e.g. externalizing problems, social and cognitive outcomes).

Physical aggression is the leading problem in child care centres and the leading reason why preschool children with behaviour problems are referred for clinical help.
