Prepared for the White House Conference on Children (December 1970), this booklet reports on a mothers' training program in Urbana, Illinois--one of 34 promising programs on childhood education. The training program is a tutorial program at the University of Illinois involving both mother and child; the program tries to demonstrate that mothers in deprived areas can be effectively trained to provide own children with a more stimulating home environment and some basic preschool skills. Results have been highly promising; in contrast to the usual pattern for children from disadvantaged areas, the participating infants show increasing improvement on intelligence tests. The mothers are self-confident and enthusiastic about the program. The mothers in the program set aside a regular time for daily training sessions at home with the child; these sessions vary in length depending on the infant's attention span. In addition, the mothers attend two-hour group meetings once a week. The program provides transportation to the school and pays $3 per session to cover babysitting expenses. Basic toys and other materials are supplied. For other booklets in the series, see UD 011 120, and 011 122-125. (Author/JW)
