Relationship Opportunities in Day Care: Changes in Child and Parent Functioning.
Heinicke, Christoph M.; And Others
This study investigates relationships between the family environment and maintenance of children's gains from early childhood educational experiences. Participating families received training and counseling from social workers, who focused on improving parent child relationships. Measures of children's intellectual and social functioning as well as various parent-child interaction ratings were analyzed. Results indicated that intervention with the parents did lead to measurable behavior change in their children. All child indices except peer relations were correlated with changes in some component of parent-child communication, affection, or the extent of parental availability. Discussion focuses on the potential of parent education as a primary strategy of intervention. (DP)
