“…The third study was an RCT involving 60 Dutch foster mother-foster child dyads. Here, there was no evidence that VIPP-FC/A was effective in improving foster carers' sensitive parenting or eliciting more positive attitudes, compared to the control condition (Schoemaker, et al, 2020) but the researchers suggested that the findings could be explained by a selection bias and subsequent ceiling effect. More research on the effectiveness of VIPP-FC/A is ongoing in Flanders and the UK.…”

Foster children are known to be at high risk for developing attachment problems. Moreover, their associated behavioural problems can be a burden for the foster family and increase the risk of placement breakdown. A sensitive parenting style promotes a secure attachment which, in turn, can reduce the chance of difficulties arising and protect against placement disruption. Interventions using video-feedback of parent–child interactions offer a method of increasing parental sensitivity and improving the quality of the parent–child attachment. The intervention discussed in this article was part of a wider initiative, Video-feedback Intervention to promote Positive Parenting and Sensitive Discipline (VIPP-SD), fashioned to promote sensitive parenting, secure attachment and a reduction in children’s behavioural problems. Its effectiveness has been shown for a variety of target groups. A variant of the approach was developed specifically for foster and adopted children, Video-feedback Intervention to promote Positive Parenting and Sensitive Discipline – Foster Care/Adoption (VIPP-FC/A). This article discusses the design and delivery of the intervention and illustrates these with case material.

“…VIPP has been adapted and utilized across multiple countries with a variety of samples (e.g., insecure mothers, preterm infants, adopted children, children with Autism, visually impaired children), and demonstrated effectiveness in improving child behavior problems and cortisol levels, and decreasing risk for internalizing disorders at 6-year follow-up (Juffer, Bakermans - Kranenburg, & Van Ijzendoorn, 2018; Klein Velderman et al, 2006; Van Zeijl et al, 2006). Regarding trauma, VIPP has been implemented with children in foster care and examined parental trauma as a potential moderator (Schoemaker et al, 2020; van der Asdonk, Cyr, & Alink, 2020), but no studies have directly assessed child trauma outcomes. Similarly, no studies to date have examined the effectiveness of VIPP for families experiencing homelessness.…”

PurposeWhereas many prevention and treatment programs exist for children and families, there have been no reviews specifically examining infant mental health outcomes. Furthermore, despite high rates of infants and families experiencing homelessness, little work has evaluated the effectiveness of these parenting programs in such vulnerable populations. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to a) systematically examine prevention and treatment parenting programs targeting infant mental health outcomes in infants from birth to age 2 years, b) highlight strengths and limitations of current interventions, and c) identify gaps in the existing literature to inform future mental health intervention science in areas of greatest need, specifically within the context of homelessness.MethodsFrom over 15,000 publications initially identified, thirty-three prevention and treatment programs met inclusion criteria for this review. Each program was reviewed for level of scientific evidence.ResultsOf the thirty-three programs reviewed, eleven (33%) were classified as promising. An additional 18% were classified as ineffective, emerging, and effective. Lastly, only four programs (12%; Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-Up, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, Triple P-Positive Parenting Program, and Video-feedback Intervention Parenting Program) were classified as evidence-based based on infant mental health outcomes. Few of the identified programs have been implemented in homeless shelters, with no randomized control trials to date.ConclusionsThere is a dearth of literature examining programs targeting infant mental health. Even those programs considered evidence-based have not been thoroughly examined among families in shelter settings.

“…Coding for supportive presence (Egeland et al, 1990) in the ‘do not touch’ discipline situation has been used to measure parental supportive discipline (Lohndorf et al, 2021) and parental sensitive discipline (Schoemaker et al, 2020). Supportive presence (Egeland et al, 1990) was defined as verbally or nonverbally expressing positive regard and emotional support toward the child during the discipline task.…”

Toddlerhood is a critical period for children's self‐regulation development during which parenting is undoubtedly a key influencing factor. The role that parents especially fathers play in shaping the emergence of self‐regulation is still under investigation. This longitudinal study was carried out in 38 families in China, in which toddlers and both parents participated in two waves of observations during home visits, one performed when the toddlers were around 14 months old and another one 12 months later. Children's self‐regulation was measured by behaviour control and Stroop tasks. Parental positive and negative discipline was coded by videotaped parent–child interactions. Results indicated that the mothers showed more positive discipline than the fathers at child 14 months, and there were no significant differences in positive and negative discipline between the fathers and mothers at child 26 months, neither in their negative discipline at child 14 months. Only the fathers' positive and negative discipline at child 14 months both significantly predicted toddlers' behaviour control at 26 months—over and above maternal discipline. This study reveals fathers' unique and irreplaceable contributions to children's early self‐regulation development.
