One thing you like about the theory is it can guide you in designing a prevention program for at-risk parents, as it will allow you to begin educating parents on how to connect with their children. In addition, you can use it with parents with older children to facilitate the development of coping skills related to emotion regulation issues that interfere with effective communication. Which social skills theory best fits your needs?
