| Title:EFFECTS OF DEVELOPMENTAL PARENTING-BASED INTERVENTION PROGRAM ON MOTHERS` AFFECTION, RESPONSIVENESS, ENCOURAGEMENT AND TEACHING SKILLS: A PILOT STUDY IN TURKEY |
| Abstract:The interaction between mother and child is one of the factors that can have a positive or negative effect children`s development. It is known that parents` interaction skills are particularly important in for promoting language, cognitive and social development. Research emphasizes that children with positive parenting skills have better development and school readiness. The current study was conducted using a quasi-experimental pre-test post-test single-group design. For the pilot study, 10 mothers with 13-28 month-old babies who agreed to participate in the study received the 6-week PICCOLO-TR intervention program. The data were collected using the PICCOLO Mother-Child Interaction Observation Form to measure parent-child interaction, as a pre-test and post-test, and the Parent Opinion Form was also used. The Shapiro-Wilks test was used to test the normal distribution of the post-test scores. The results of the study (X=46.70) showed that the PICCOLO subgroup and total scores of the mothers participating in the 6-week early intervention program increased compared to the pre-test scores (X=35.30). It is recommended that the positive results demonstrated in the current study should be tested with larger groups. Moreover, the PICCOLO parent-child interaction assessment observation method can be added to the protocols to monitor and support the development of children. Finally, other intervention approaches that support positive parenting skills can be used in further studies. |
