Professor Kazdin is very engaging, it is fun and motivating to watch his lectures.

The contents is well-structured, and the most important points are repeated from time to time, so they really stuck. Many real-life examples illustrate the techniques. The parenting techniques themselves make a lot of sense, and -- most importantly -- are simple enough to implement at home.

Because my new-born is too young to try the techniques on him, I cannot elaborate on the effectiveness of the techniques.

It does have a slight US focus but this is the only slightly negative feature of this course. I can truly recommend this course to any parent independent of the age of the kid. Really easy to understand and very applicable to the everyday challenges of a parent. If you want some nudges on how you can become a (even) better parent - this course if for you. It gives you a tool box of different parenting approaches and it's then up to you to decide which tools are most applicable for you.

Love this course! Thank you so much for offering this course. I'm a mother of 2 and also an instructor to kids between K-5 at the moment and this helps to see how we can communicate with other children but our own. This course has given me another perspective on raising better children and better myself as a mother, role mother, guidance to them. Amazing course, please keep offering more in depth how we can better ourselves as humans and how to communicate with our children or others.

This course is very nice, easy to understand and systematic. I really enjoyed learning from this course. Each videos are long enough to get engaged and learn something and not to get bored. The delivery is amazing. It is systematic, easy to understand and right to the point with some specific examples. Thank you to Coursera and all those unknown nice people who make this course available. A special thank you to Dr.Kazdin for the amazing delivery and cool looking personality.

The best course to helping parents, or nannies as me, to change behavior and help the child to be happy too!! I highly recommend to everyone.

And Professor is the best! 10 stars! Super. He has passion to teach and passion to help families and children. I was motivated since day 1 to the end, and when it finishes I felt sad because I wanted to keep learning! =) Thank you Professor!! I really enjoyed each of the classes and videos =) All super clear!! Muchas Gracias!!

Learnt so much about how to deal with tantrums of my toddler. I could use what I have learnt here in the course with my toddler who I felt was getting out of hand. Even the way the acted out when we did the wrong thing, was explained in the course and I was blown away. The level of accuracy in this course is amazing. Thank you so much form me and my 3 year old, even though he doesn't know it, I feel like a better parent now for him than I did before this course.

Perfect course for everyone not only for parent. I've leant a lot about children and misbelieved about child rearing. This course give me more confident to understand children and their behavior including the 'technique' and 'how to' which simple and easy to adapt into the any situations. The course structure are well planned with basic outline prior to the lecture and summary at the end of each video. Thank you again for all the great work of creator team.

This course has helped me manage my child a little better after just the first week with only using praise! The instructor is very knowlegable and passionate about this topic. It was nice to learn different techniques and to make better use of the techniques I was already doing with my children. It's also great that this course isn't geared toward one stage of life and teaches techniques for all stages of parenting. Definitely recommend this course!

Every parent should take this course. Dr. Kazdin teaches you how to use and employ powerful tools afor developing well-adjusted and well-behaved children and young adults. Many parents have the right ideas, but execute their methods ineffectively-- Dr. Kazdin clearly explains the what's, how's, and why's of effective parenting to get parents back on the right track. A few hours with these lectures will save you much time and frustration down the road!

Good Course. But made no difference with Childrens aid. Most people it probably would but Ontario has a lot of people practicing the title social worker title illegally and it is really unfair to their victims, It is illegal in Ontario to practice the title social worker or social service worker without being registered with OCSWSSW college @ 250 Bloor street Toronto. 250 Bloor street. I dont even think they know where to park.

Thank you for this amazing course. I've learned valuable skills. It's helped me for my parenting and my son very much. This course helps children being received the sufficient care and development from parents. This course not only teaches behaviors for children but also behaviors for parents. Thank you for priceless knowledge, especiallly it's free for everyone so that any parents can get it to improve their life quality.

A brilliant and unique course that incorporated Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) in natural everyday environment. observation. Provided hands-on and easy-to-follow experience even though delivered online.Practical tips.Insertions in-between video lectures highlighting main points were extremely poignant. The course was very well structured from handling a child to small group; from early childhood to adolescence.

I thought there was a lot of valuable information.I will keep applying it in me and my child's life .I have seen huge improvement in both of our live's .I wanted to thank you for the opportunity. I have passed the class with a 87.4%.is there any way to get a Pharisaical certificate sent to me from yale that would mean the world to memy address is 211 laurel ST.

The course starts slow with the basics , and how it can be applied in a special way to make them more effective. Then binds different techniques and show how work together. It also addresses the common misconceptions that lead to applying wrong techniques and not adopting the recommended ones.

As advised by the course, results will not come by learning only. Results come with continuous practice.

It is an amazing course for parents, early grade teachers or the individuals who want to establish his career in child education or child improvement project like me. As a parent, educator and an individual wishing to build career in child education and improvement area, I have learnt a great deal of effective, useful and scientific methods to be used to change child behavior and improvement.

This is an excellent course which I'd recommend to anyone looking to improve their general outlook on not just children's behaviour, or shaping that behaviour, but also their own behaviour. Thank you Yale University and Coursera for this fantastic course. And thank you Prof. for doing such a good job. I'd like to consider taking any other courses you might be designing or helping to design.

The course is just great. As a professional teacher and a parent of two, a teen and a pre-teen, I took this course simply to sharpen my saw and found it very useful not only in the home but the classroom environment. I highly appreciate the emmence work of Dr Kazdin in preparing the videos! His artilces supplemented the course and instigated my interested in childrearing and parenting.

It is useful to learn behavioral techniques to change your child's behaviors and teach him/her new good behaviors. It may also be helpful for professionals who will or do work with children or parents to learn effective techniques. The course has a big emphasis on behavior. Dealing with emotions, effective communication, etc. are the things that you should not expect from this course.

It was good attending the class of Everyday Parenting: The ABC's of Child Rearing. It's not only a subject of my interest but also in my view, it's something that would help me to work it out throughout in my future life too. The classes were really good . They are successful in pointing out all the basics that we have to practice in our child inorder to change their behaviour.

This is life changing and a life saving for parents, children, and adults that are surrounded by kids. This does not just help on how to become a better parent but also helps anyone who's struggling with communication. This course is everything. An absolute upgrade for anyone who wants to continue to learn and become a better guardian. Growth does not stop at a certain age.

Really enjoyed this course! The instructor took lots of research and explained it in an understandable way. He discussed what the data actually shows about punishment vs consequences, as well as the importance of setting clearer expectations. He also discussed a number of tools in-depth, and gave several 'putting it all together' cases to learn from. Highly recommend.

Thank you for the engaging and educational course! I gained really great knowledge that I will definitely use in my work with children and with my children at home. The course leader Dr. Alen Kazdin is fantastic! he is really great mentor. he taught in a very simple and innovate way, i really express my gratitude form bottom of my heart to him thank you again.

Dr. Alan E. Kazdin provided such useful application on how to shape and change a child's unwanted behavior. I feel that by attending this course allowed me to become the parent that I've never had. I'm very grateful to be able to attend this course for free, the information are invaluable, and it doesn't just work for children, I think it works for adults too!!

I like this course and find it very informative.

The professor is engaging and explains all the important points in great comprehensive order.

I get a chance to review my own parenting methods and reflect on cases encounter in daily life, my own family or other friends. The course even helped me to get prepared before the child getting into adolescent stage.
