Abstract	"Tuning in to Kids" (TIK) is a parenting program that focuses on emotion coaching and is evidenced to be effective in Western populations. This study used a randomized controlled trial to examine the intervention effects of TIK on Chinese parents of low to middle socioeconomic status in Hong Kong. One hundred four parents (99 mothers and five fathers; M[subscript age] in years = 37.92) of preschoolers aged 3-6 years were randomly assigned to the experimental (n = 54) or waitlist control group (n = 50). Parent and child outcomes were assessed at baseline (Time 1), immediately after the 6-week intervention (Time 2), and 6 weeks postintervention (Time 3), using the Alabama Parenting Questionnaire, Coping with Children's Negative Emotions Scale, Parenting Stress Index-Short Form, and Emotion Regulation Checklist. The experimental group reported significant reductions in punitive parenting and parenting stress at Time 2, and these effects were maintained at Time 3. Delayed improvements in parents' use of expressive encouragement and children's emotion lability/negativity were observed at Time 3 in the experimental group. The immediate intervention effects were replicated in the waitlist control group at Time 3 after they attended the training. This study represented one of the few randomized controlled trials of TIK conducted in a non-Western sample. Our results corroborated the findings of prior studies of TIK and provided preliminary support for its effectiveness across different cultural contexts. (As Provided).
