  <DIV>Hello,</DIV>
  <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV>The therapeutic parent coaching program I work for is seeking a way to 
  measure the knowledge which our client parents have of child development, and 
  the degree to which their expectations in terms of behavior and discipline are 
  developmentally appropriate. Ideally, we need something which is free or 
  cheap, does not take multiple sessions to administer, does not require 
  extensive training to administer or score, and has some proven validity. We 
  work with families with children of all ages, and realize we will probably 
  need to use more than one measure. </DIV>
  <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV>Thank you,</DIV>
  <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
