The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of an educational program in improving the level of knowledge of parents about natural growth indicators in the development of children and determining the indicators which delay development in children from birth to three years old. The sample of the study consisted of 60 volunteers who were randomly and equally assigned to control and experimental groups. The educational program consists of 15 sessions; each session's duration is two hours. The results of the study showed that the level of parents' knowledge of natural growth indicators for children from birth to three years is low. There were differences on the level of knowledge of parents about developmental delay indicators due to the educational program. The study recommended the need for further studies on the importance of raising the level of knowledge of parents about development risk indicators of natural growth of children.

Background:Early childhood is the most important step throughout the lifespan and it is a critical period continuing to the end of 8-year-old. Mothers’ knowledge is one of the important aspects of child development. The goals of this study were to determine the situation of knowledge in Iranian parents about the concept and the importance of early childhood development (ECD) and determining the sources of parental knowledge about ECD from the perspective of parents and grandparents.Methods:This qualitative study was conducted based on the directional content analysis in 2016. The purposive sampling method is utilized to select 24 participants among parents and grandparents in Tehran. The inclusion criteria consisted of speaking in Persian and having a child or grandchild <3-year-old. Data were collected through four focus group discussions and four individual interviews.Results:Iranian parental knowledge about integrative ECD is not enough, their knowledge about motor development and speech and language are relatively better, about cognitive development is little and socialemotional is very little. They said parents and other caregivers influence the process of children's development. Parents’ knowledge resources about ECD included human resources, physical resources, virtual space, and the media. According to the majority of participants, “pediatricians are the most reliable source of parents’ knowledge about ECD” even though the main focus of pediatricians is on treating diseases, physical health, and growth of children.Conclusions:According to the results, the knowledge of Iranian parent is not enough about ECD; therefore, actions must be taken to increase their knowledge in these domains. Parents look for reliable and valid sources to enhance their knowledge and they rely the most on pediatricians in this regard. Therefore, more studies on assessing parents’ knowledge in community and the practical methods for knowledge promotion in this field is recommended.
