Parenting programmes have been shown to improve
children’s relationships with their parents/caregivers, and
reduce problem behaviours, but little research has focused
on outcomes for Indigenous families. The aim of this pilot
study was to evaluate the acceptability and effectiveness
of Hoki ki te Rito (HKTR)/Mellow Parenting program, for
Māori mothers in South Auckland, New Zealand.The Mellow Parenting Program — HKTR, culturally adapted for Māori parents was offered by Ohimairangi Trust to Māori mothers from socially disadvantaged areas, with children aged 0–5 years where relationship difficulties were present along with child behaviour difficulties.
