The goal of the study was to assess parents and children behavior on the basis of their participation in a raising practices program. 128 parents from 8 public health institutions in Mexico were assessed with self-reports about their behaviors and their children’s, and a direct observational system was used to determine the use of raising practices and parents behaviors. A factorial design of two (before and after assessment) by two (low and middle use) was used. The results suggest that the parental behaviors that change in function of higher use of the child raising practices are praising, social interaction and following instructions; and the report of lower use of punishment, more use of the ignoring technique, problem solving, establishment of rules and academic social interaction. Additional studies should confirm the engaged adoption process associated with child raising practices and the reduction of problematic behavior in children.
