Download or read book The Effect of Parent Training Using EMT an Espanol (in Spanish) on the Ability of Monolingual Spanish-speaking Parents to Use Matched Turns During Parent-child Interactions written by Sandy Frey and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Objective: The Spanish-speaking population is rapidly growing and needs evidence-based interventions that work within the culture to promote language development in children with a language impairment or delay. The migrant Spanish-speaking population is a subculture that is rarely included in this type of research; therefore, it is unknown if evidence-based interventions that are effective in the Spanish-speaking population would be just as effective in the migrant population. Method: This single-subject investigation was implemented to determine if Enhanced Milieu Teaching in Spanish (EMT en Espanol) is effective in training Spanish-speaking migrant parents/caregivers in using matched turns when engaging in everyday activities with their children. Results: Statistical Process Control (SPC) identifies three common rules used to define the criteria for special cause; the data collected during the intervention phase of this investigation met two of the three common rules. This indicates a statistically significant increase in the number of matched turns when a parent/caregiver was educated on how to mirror and map their chlld's interactions from baseline to the completion of the intervention. Conclusion: These findings demonstrate that a monolingual Spanish-speaking migrant parent is able to implement the matched turn strategies during daily interactions with their child when provided with the appropriate training in their native language.

Download or read book A Comparison of Two Parent Education Programs on the Reduction of Parent-Child Stress in Mother-Child Relationships of Hispanic Migrant Farmworkers written by Salome Gutierrez and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study examined the efficacy of two parent training programs in reducing perceived parental stress in a sample of Spanish speaking migrant farmworkers of Hispanic origin. Sixty-eight Spanish-speaking mothers, referred for parenting classes because one of their children was experiencing behavioral or emotional difficulties, were randomly assigned to one of four treatment conditions: (1) 1-2-3 Magic, a behaviorally-based program; (2) Systematic Training for Effective Parenting (STEP), an Adlerian-based program; (3) attention-placebo condition; and, (4) wait-list control group. All treatment conditions were presented in Spanish, and offered at convenient times and locations for participants. Parental stress was measured with the Spanish version of the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form (PSI-SF), using the Total Stress Score, and the three subscale scores: Parental Distress Score, Parent-Child Dysfunctional Interaction Score, and Difficult Child Score. Assessments were completed at pretest, posttest, and at a three-month follow-up. A repeated-measures multivariate analysis of variance on the dependent measures revealed significant differences for groups across the three assessment periods. Subsequent analyses indicated that the behaviorally-based program produced significantly greater reductions on the Total Stress Score and Parental Distress Score at posttest and follow-up than the Adlerian program, the attention-placebo group, and the wait-list group. The behaviorally-based program was also more effective in reducing parent-child dysfunctional interaction than the attention-placebo group at posttest and follow-up, and the wait-list control group at follow-up, but notin comparison to the Adlerian program. These results lend support for behaviorally-based parent training in reducing perceived parental stress in this migrant farmworker population. To ensure treatment integrity, a parent trainer validity check was used in which expert parent educators rated randomly selected videotaped segments of each parent training session on five criteria. Statistical analysis of treatment validity revealed no significant differences in mean scores of expert raters across parenting groups, suggesting that the parent trainer behaved consistently on the criteria across all treatment conditions. The results are also discussed in relation to the literature on parent training. In addition, the limitations of the present study, as well as future directions for research are discussed.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Latino immigrant families are a population facing great risks which can severely impact their overall well-being. Evidence suggests that parent education and social support programs are an effective way for decreasing some of those risks. The purpose of this project was to identify a potential parenting program, seek potential funding sources to implement such program, and write a grant to fund the parenting program for Aurora Elementary School in the city of Los Angeles, California. The Strengthening Families Program was chosen after revision of best practices in parenting programs for Latino families found in the literature. The program is designed as a group with parenting education, social support, substance use prevention, and parent-child interaction components. The Joseph Drown Foundation was identified as the potential funding source. Social Work implications are discussed. The actual submission and/or funding of this grant was not a requirement for the successful completion of this project.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confident Parents, Confident Kids lays out an approach for helping parents—and the kids they love—hone their emotional intelligence so that they can make wise choices, connect and communicate well with others (even when patience is thin), and become socially conscious and confident human beings. How do we raise a happy, confident kid? And how can we be confident that our parenting is preparing our child for success? Our confidence develops from understanding and having a mastery over our emotions (aka emotional intelligence)—and helping our children do the same. Like learning to play a musical instrument, we can fine-tune our ability to skillfully react to those crazy, wonderful, big feelings that naturally arise from our child’s constant growth and changes, moving from chaos to harmony. We want our children to trust that they can conquer any challenge with hard work and persistence; that they can love boundlessly; that they will find their unique sense of purpose; and they will act wisely in a complex world. This book shows you how. With author and educator Jennifer Miller as your supportive guide, you'll learn: the lies we’ve been told about emotions, how they shape our choices, and how we can reshape our parenting decisions in better alignment with our deepest values. how to identify the temperaments your child was born with so you can support those tendencies rather than fight them. how to align your biggest hopes and dreams for your kids with specific skills that can be practiced, along with new research to support those powerful connections. about each age and stage your child goes through and the range of learning opportunities available. how to identify and manage those big emotions (that only the parenting process can bring out in us!) and how to model emotional intelligence for your children. how to deal with the emotions and influences of your choir—the many outside individuals and communities who directly impact your child’s life, including school, the digital world, extended family, neighbors, and friends. Raising confident, centered, happy kids—while feeling the same way about yourself—is possible with Confident Parents, Confident Kids.

Download or read book A Parent Training Program for Caucasian and Latino Parents of Children with Developmental Delays Or Behavioral Difficulties written by Vanessa L. Davidson and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parenting a child diagnosed with a chronic illness is a stressful and challenging endeavor. Parent training programs have proven efficacious in helping parents increase the amount of positive parent-child interactions, decrease stress level, and increase their sense of social support (Baydar, Reid, & Webster-Stratton, 2003); Hartman, Stage, & Webster-Stratton, 2003; Myers et al., 1992). Many programs are available but lack empirical support, and it would be helpful to have reliable and valid data regarding the effectiveness of these programs. An open trial, using a pre-test/post-test design, evaluated the effectiveness of a parent training program across four domains (parents' perceptions, self-reported discipline practices, parental stress, and social support). Thirty Spanish- and English-speaking parents of a child recently diagnosed with a developmental delay or behavioral difficulty attended a four-week parent training program at an urban Midwestern pediatric development center. This study did not yield significant findings in any of the domains of interest. Furthermore, no significant differences were found in any of the areas of interest between English- and Spanish-speaking parents. Though not significant, parental stress levels were reported to be higher after program completion than they were before. Despite these findings, all parents assessed after program completion reported being satisfied to some degree with the program. One possible explanation for the findings include the possibility that those parents with higher stress levels were more prone to complete the program, thereby yielding post-program stress levels that were higher than the pre-program stress levels. An additional possibility is that program participation contributed to higher parental stress levels as a result of increased knowledge and awareness of their children's diagnosis and prognosis. Several methodological aspects of this study could be strengthened in the future studies of a similar nature in order to increase the validity and reliability of the findings.

Book excerpt: This study examines the social, cultural, and linguistic barriers that Spanish speaking parents face. It also examines effective types of parent involvement. This study consisted of a mixed-methods approach to answer the following research questions regarding parent involvement of Spanish speaking parents in a rural school with a high EL and Hispanic population: How has my school promoted the participation of Spanish-speaking parents? Has my school been able to promote participation of Spanish-speaking parents successfully? Are there areas my school could improve on to promote parent involvement of Spanish speaking parents? If so, what are the areas? In order to answer these research questions, pre-existing attendance records for ELAC meetings and English classes were collected. Teacher surveys, staff member interviews, and a parent survey of 103 participants were conducted. The data was analyzed strategically for statistics, correlations, and themes. This research study resulted in the following key findings: teachers and school events need to be provided with translators; consistency in translating information and ensuring it gets out to parents is significant; staff members should be aware of and promote meetings and workshops for Spanish speaking parents; meetings and workshops need to be scheduled appropriately and provide childcare; leaders should create a sense of urgency to promote and provide meaningful opportunities for Spanish speaking parents to become involved; Spanish speaking parents are involved from home, but need to be provided with proper resources. This research study provided feedback on what the school is doing and not doing well to promote parent-involvement for Spanish speaking parents. This study also gave insight into what areas these parents may need more support in, and what areas the school could improve on to get these parents involved. The results correlated to the body of literature on this topic. The long-term benefit of this study is to increase parent involvement of Spanish-speaking parents, which could potentially improve academic achievement of students, in particular English language learners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasingly, children grow up hearing two languages from birth. This comprehensive textbook explains how children learn to understand and speak those languages. It brings together both established knowledge and the latest findings about different areas of bilingual language development. It also includes new analyses of previously published materials. The book describes how bilingually raised children learn to understand and use sounds, words and sentences in two languages. A recurrent theme is the large degree of variation between bilingual children. This variation in how children develop bilingually reflects the variation in their language learning environments. Positive attitudes from the people in bilingual children's language learning environments and their recognition that child bilingualism is not monolingualism-times-two are the main ingredients ensuring that children grow up to be happy and expert speakers of two languages.

This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.

Download or read book The Effectiveness of Shared Reading Interventions with Families of Hispanic Prekindergarten Students written by Tracey Hasbun and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of parent or caregiver shared-reading interventions on Hispanic prekindergarten students' language and literacy scores. In addition, this study investigated the effects of shared reading interventions on Spanish-speaking parents' home literacy behaviors with their children. Teacher perceptions regarding the effectiveness of the intervention were also examined. The present mixed-methods study was similar to research conducted by Jiménez, Fillipini, & Gerber (2006) and Whitehurst, Falco, Lonigan, Fischel, DeBaryshe, Valdez- Manchaca, & Caulfield (1988) in that shared reading strategies were conducted with parents or caregivers and their children. Differing from previous research, the current study utilized an experimental pretest-posttest control group design, sessions were conducted over a 20-week period, students' language and literacy scores were examined in both English and Spanish, and Hispanic preschool children and their parents or caregivers served as participants. Statistically significant results were found in students0́9 oral language scores in English and Spanish. The treatment group scored higher in both languages. Statistically significant results were also found in several aspects of parent or caregiver home literacy behaviors. Parents or caregivers in the treatment group reported reading more to their children in both English and Spanish. The treatment group also reported reading with greater frequency and for greater periods of time with their children. Additionally, children in the treatment group asked to be read to more often and possessed a greater enjoyment for being read to during sessions. Finally, parents or caregivers in the treatment group indicated that they held a greater enjoyment for reading, at the end of the intervention. Teachers in the study perceived the program to be a success and attributed positive changes within the parents or caregivers and children to the intervention.

Download or read book Analysis of High-risk Hispanic Families in a Family Support Program written by Joni Weatherspoon and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two studies investigated the characteristics of high-risk Hispanic parents with young children who were enrolled in a primary prevention home visitation program targeting first birth families. In the first study, more and less acculturated high-risk Hispanic families were compared to high-risk non-Hispanic White families on differences in demographic characteristics, risk factors associated with poor child outcomes, and parent behaviors related to infant health. Using the General Linear Model Univariate procedure, these characteristics were then related to level of parenting skills, measured after approximately one year of service. A total of 1005 families were included in the study. There were important differences in parent psychosocial characteristics, health risks, and outcomes among Hispanic families. Hispanic mothers who were more acculturated, as measured by use of English in the home, were more likely to be at risk for substance abuse, mental illness, and family conflict. They were more likely to smoke and less likely to breastfeed. Less acculturated Hispanic mothers were less educated and more likely to be isolated. Controlling for pretest scores and education level, there were significant between group differences on parenting skills after one year of service, however the effect was small and overshadowed by the significant interaction effect between partner status and household category. Scores for single Spanish-speaking Hispanic mothers were significantly lower than scores of Spanish-speaking Hispanics in partner households. Risk factors that were positively associated with program progress included breastfeeding and mother's education level. Smoking, mental illness, and unrealistic expectations for the child were negatively associated with program progress. The second paper addressed the efficacy of an age-paced parenting newsletter as part of a home-visiting program for Spanish-speaking Hispanic parents. Family Service Workers serving these families delivered the newsletter and used it as a curriculum guide and teaching tool for families. Parents reported reading the newsletter, learning from it, and changing their behavior in response to newsletter content. Home visitors reported that it was a useful tool to reach high-risk parents with important parenting information. They found that it was particularly useful to combat inappropriate or unhealthful parenting advice from well-meaning family members and friends.
