Resumo(s)
This study evaluated the preliminary effects of an
early intervention program for parents and children at-risk.
In this study, a sample of 40 children were randomly
assigned to a 9-months intervention program (intervention
group, n = 20) or remained in usual practice conditions
(control group, n = 20). The intervention involved group
dynamics with children in pre-school and individual work
sessions with the parents and the children at home. A
repeated measures design 2 × 2 was used to test the program effects on parenting practices (Maltreatment Questionnaire) and on children’s mental and social development
(Griffiths Mental Development Scales). Results revealed
that the program had a positive impact mostly on parenting
practices, decreasing physical and psychological abuse (d
= −1.01), physical neglect (d = −0.71) and lack of supervision (d = −0.48), and also on measures of cognitive
development (i.e., hearing and language; d = 0.31). The
program reinforces the importance and effectiveness of
attunement intervention programs for parents and for
children.
