The goal of this pilot randomized controlled trial is to learn about effects and experiences of an internet-based parenting program for parents of children and adolescents with behavioral problems (e.g., aggressive or defiant behavior). The main questions the study aims to answer are: * What are the preliminary effects of the internet-based parenting program? * What is the level of parents' engagement in the parenting program? * How do parents perceive the program? Families will be randomized to a version of an internet-based parenting program with support provided from family guides (psychologists) through chat messages in the program, or to the same internet-based parenting program with additional phone/digital support-meetings. Parents will answer quantitative measurements questions before, during, and after treatment. Parents will also be asked to participate in a qualitative interview after the program. Both within and between group comparisons will be conducted to see if there are trends within each arm and differences between the two types of support.
