| 摘要: | The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in early childhood educators (ECE) and practitioners seeing more developmental delays than in previous years (Giesbrecht et al., 2023; Murphy et al., 2023), with social-emotional development being uniquely impacted (Pajek et al., 2023). This study examined Raising Families, a 12-week, free, intensive, interprofessional program provided by psychologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, and speech-language pathologists targeting young children alive during the pandemic (ages 18 months to 5 years-11 months old) and their caregivers. During the program, while children received direct interprofessional services, caregivers took part in a parenting group, receiving parental coaching, support, and psycho-education on child development. Caretakers and children then spent time together, while caregivers were coached in applying their new skills. Overall, 35 children and their caretakers completed the program (completion was considered at least 75% attendance). The majority of participants were from underrepresented backgrounds, with 60% being either Latinx/Hispanic, Black, or multiracial. This study examined the change in the parent-child relationship and parent-child interactions after completion of this program. Results found positive changes in the parent-child relationship, specifically in the areas of discipline practices and relational frustration, and in parent-child interactions, in the areas of affection, involvement, responsiveness, and teaching strategies. There was a negative correlation found in changes between discipline practices and responsiveness. Finally, results showed that the number of sessions attended impacted parents' discipline practices in a positive manner. This study's results provide evidence supporting the use of interprofessional services to promote the development of positive caregiver-child relationships and interactions. |
