“…Over the past three decades, the work of Fraiberg and her colleagues has sparked the development of a number of infant mental health home visiting programs around the country (see Zero to Three, June/July 2002, for a review). But, unlike NFP, which has been widely researched and fully manualized, only two IPP home visiting programs have been tested empirically; these are the programs pioneered by Lieberman and her colleagues (Lieberman et al, 1999; Lieberman, Weston, & Pawl, 1991) and by Heinicke and his colleagues (Heinicke et al, 1999; Heinicke et al, 2000). Both studies linked IPP to increased rates of attachment security, and to the development of a healthy and resilient mother-child relationship.…”

In this paper we focus on the first wave of outcomes in a pilot phase randomized control trial of a home-based intervention for infants and their families, Minding the Baby® (MTB), an interdisciplinary, mentalization-based intervention in which home visiting services are provided by a team that includes a nurse practitioner and a clinical social worker. Families are recruited during mother's pregnancy and continue through the child's second birthday. Analyses revealed that intervention families were more likely to be on track with immunization schedules at 12 months, had lower rates of rapid subsequent childbearing, and were less likely to be referred to child protective services. In addition, mother-infant interactions were less likely to be disrupted at 4 months when mothers were teenagers, and all intervention infants were more likely to be securely attached, and less likely to be disorganized in relation to attachment at one year. Finally, mothers’ capacity to reflect on their own and their child's experience improved over the course of the intervention in the most high-risk mothers.

“…For example, better quality parent-provider relationships are linked to parents' satisfaction with services (Kontos & Dunn, 1989), parent involvement (Elicker, Noppe, Noppe, & Fortner-Wood, 1997;Nzinga-Johnson, Baker, & Aupperlee, 2009), parental self-efficacy beliefs (Green, McAllister, & Tarte, 2004;Trivette, Dunst, & Hamby, 2010), and the quality of parent-child relationships (Dunst, 2002;Elicker, Wen, Kwon, & Sprague, 2013;Heinicke et al, 2000).…”

“…Because participants’ engagement in any parenting intervention is a key predictor of success, researchers have assessed both quantitative and qualitative aspects of such engagement. Typically, such measures have relied on records of attendance, a variety of ratings of engagement by interventionists, completed homework, or parents’ reports (Baydar, Reid, & Webster-Stratton, 2003; Dumas & Albin, 1986; Garvey, Julion, Fogg, Kratovil, & Gross, 2006; Heinicke et al, 2000; Korfmacher et al, 2008; Nix, Bierman, McMahon, & The Conduct Problems Prevention Research Group, 2009; Nock & Ferriter, 2005; Raikes et al, 2006; Wen, Korfmacher, Hans, & Henson, 2010). But in behavioral interventions, where mothers are taught specific parenting techniques, such measures, although certainly valuable, do not capture the consistency of observed maternal behavior with the received instructions or the amount of such behavior actually delivered to the child over the course of the intervention.…”

Objectives This multi-method study of mothers and toddlers (a) examined the effectiveness of a play-based intervention (child-oriented play versus play-as-usual) on children’s cooperation with their mothers and socioemotional competence, (b) introduced a robust new measure of maternal engagement in the intervention, reflected in the dose of child-oriented play the mother delivered to the child, (c) examined ecological factors that predicted maternal engagement, and the effect of engagement on the outcomes. Methods Low-income mothers (N=186, 11% Latino, 27% minority) were randomized into Child-Oriented Play group or Play-as-Usual group, and participated in 8 play sessions and played daily with their children for 10 weeks. Microscopic coding of mothers’ behavior in play sessions assessed the dose of child-oriented play delivered to children; mothers’ diaries assessed time in daily play. Children’s cooperation with maternal control, observed in the laboratory, and mother-rated competence were measured before randomization (Pretest), after play sessions (Posttest 1), and 6 months later (Posttest 2). Results Children in both groups made significant gains in both outcomes. The gains in cooperation appeared longer lasting in Child-Oriented Play group. Both groups made significantly greater gains than a “historical community control” group, an unrelated longitudinal study without any intervention. Structural Equation Analyses revealed that married mothers, and those with fewer children delivered higher doses of child-oriented play, and those doses predicted children’s higher cooperation and competence, with the effects of earlier scores covaried. The dose of time spent in daily play had no effect. Conclusion Child-oriented play may be a promising, effective, and inexpensive means of promoting toddlers’ positive development.
