Davis, Frances A.
Zero to Three (J), v29 n4 p4-9 Mar 2009
Great Expectation and New Beginnings is a prenatal family support program run by the Family, Infant, and Preschool Program (FIPP) in North Carolina. FIPP has developed an evidence-based integrated framework of early childhood intervention and family support that includes three primary components: providing intervention in everyday family environments, using a family-centered helpgiving model, and coaching to enhance parenting styles and practices. This article describes the prenatal support program's goals, characteristics, and strategies for promoting child development and parenting competence.
