Measuring CHange in PArenting SKill

They are using the Bavolek AAPI for a pre and posttest of parenting knowledge, and parts of the Bavolek curriculum in instruction.

They are looking for a simple observational instrument which will assess the parent's ability to demonstrate skills addressed in the Bavolek curriculum, such as responsiveness ans provision of age appropriate stimulation.

I have suggested the HOME or a vriation on the DPICA (Eyeberg & Robinson), but they want something much simpler, like a checklist of skills.

They are not concerned at this point about whether the mothers truly integrate new skills into their daily lives -- only whether the mothers can demonstrate them to the observers.

4 WAYS ATTACHMENT PARENTING CAN REDUCE THE RISK OF SIDS

infants, physiology, attachment parenting, mothers, SIDS, babies, baby, risk, hormones, growth, cortisol.

The most plausible explanation for SIDS, in most babies, is a defect in cardiorespiratory control and arousability during sleep.

Also, research suggests that some infants at risk for SIDS have less-organized physiological control mechanisms.

So, any parenting style that can enhance the development of a baby's physiological control systems and increase mother's awareness to subtle changes in her baby's physiology, would lower the risk of SIDS.

Findings of higher heartrates and less adaptable heartrate variability in babies at risk for SIDS suggests these infants are less able to adjust their physiology to changing biological conditions.

The longer infant animals were separated from their mothers, the higher the cortisol levels, suggesting that these babies could be chronically stressed.

Good communication is an important parenting skill.

Parenting can be more enjoyable when positive parent - child relationship is established.

Let the child know that you are interested and involved and that you will help when needed.

If you are very tired, you will have to make an extra effort to be an active listener.

Be as courteous to your child as you would be to your best friend.

For more information on how to improve your communication with children we recommend the following materials which are available in the CDI Store: Building Your Child's Self-Esteem, Kid Cooperation and When Anger Hurts.

The Benefits of Parenting Self

Latino parents and families, living in rural America face unique issues related to acculturation, language barriers, isolation and fewer support systems.

Understanding that greater community based support systems would have a positive impact on these families; the purpose of the current study is to examine Latinos' satisfaction with parenting self-help groups in rural communities and their effect on family relations, communication, and methods of discipline.

Taken together these responses suggest that many of the Latino group members in the current study relied on PHP groups for information and support regarding parenting and were not currently seeking support from many other formal sources in their local communities.

These foundational skills, along with a parent's flexibility in the hands of God, will help parents lead their families responsibly.

This prayer focus should emphasize parents allowing God to mix and blend these skills into their lives.

COMFORTING Parents must be able to understand and share the pain when their children hurt.

LISTENING Listening involves the eyes and the ears.

BLESSING Hugs and hi-fives and the words, "I love you," are all forms of blessing.

Confrontation is never fun, but it is a necessary part of being a responsible parent.

Healthy parents know that limits are necessary for a growing sense of security and for strong character to develop.
