Subgroup analysis in Table 2 of between-group studies of behavioral parent training. Under the parent rater column the article reports k/s = 15/6, SMD = 0.70, SE = 0.13, I2 = 81.29; the teacher-rater value is 0.41. The abstract likewise cites "a standardized mean difference of 0.70" for parenting behaviors.
