Parents need greater support to manage conduct disorders says health watchdog NICE

Parents of children and young people with conduct disorders should be offered training programmes to help them deal with challenging and antisocial behaviour, says the National Institute of health and Clinical Excellence (NICE).

In the new guideline published in March - the first national guideline in this area - says that group parent training programmes should be offered to help support parents and carers of children and young people aged between 3 and 11 years who have been identified as being at high risk of developing oppositional defiant disorder or conduct disorder.
