ABC is Evidence-Based
In randomized controlled trials, when compared with a control parenting program:
Children are more likely to be securely attached to their caregivers
On average, children develop more normative stress hormone patterns (see right)
Children develop better impulse control
Children are less likely to show anger during a challenging task
Children have an easier time switching between complex tasks (executive functioning)
Children have more advanced receptive language abilities
Parents respond to their young children with more sensitivity
