“…This increase in language production is particularly noteworthy because the direct focus of the intervention was to encourage parents' behaviors to support their children's language. The results on children's language provide strong support for a conceptual model in which intervention activities that affect parent behavior can, in turn, effectively impact children's language (Boyce et al, 2010). These migrant families reported levels of acculturation lower than the sample of families in this study.…”

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the language status of 120 young, Latino dual language learners living in poverty in the United States. Maternal language input and home language and literacy environments were examined with regard to language development at 24 and 36 months. Results suggested that even when combining English and Spanish language knowledge scores, the children in this sample still performed below, albeit closer to, age level. The home language and literacy environments were significantly related to and predicted child language status at 24 and 36 months. The article discusses the implications of these findings with regard to the focus of early intervention efforts.

“…It has good validity with measures of cognitive, language, and social development. StimQ has been used in a number of recent studies of early child development 44,45 and has been used in previous studies of VIP 28,29 as well as the present study of VIP and BB to demonstrate impacts on parent-child interaction 27, 33 .…”

We studied associations between two pediatrics primary care interventions promoting parental responsiveness and maternal depressive symptoms among low-income mothers. This RCT included two interventions (Video Interaction Project [VIP], Building Blocks [BB]) and a control group. VIP is a relationship-based intervention, using video-recordings of mother-child dyads to reinforce interactional strengths. BB communicates with parents via parenting newsletters, learning materials and questionnaires. At mean (SD) child age 6.9 (1.2) months, depressive symptoms were assessed with the PHQ-9, parental responsiveness was assessed with StimQ-I. 407 dyads were assessed. Rates of mild depressive symptoms were lower for VIP (20.6%) and BB (21.1%) than Controls (32.1%, p=.04). Moderate depressive symptoms were lower for VIP (4.0%) compared to Controls (9.7%, p=.031). Mean PHQ-9 scores differed across 3 groups (F=3.8, p=.02): VIP mothers scored lower than controls (p=.02 by Tukey hsd). Parent-child interactions partially mediated VIP-associated reductions in depressive symptoms (indirect effect −.17, 95% CI −.36, −.03).

“…Families are embedded within larger social structures, institutions, and sociodemographic domains (e.g., SES, ethnicity) that influence how they construct and/or adapt meaningful life experiences for children (Boyce, Innocenti, Roggman, Norman, & Ortiz, 2010). These constructions and/or adaptations are strongly linked to cultural values and community norms (Reese, 2002).…”
