Early Childhood Intervention and Family Support
Early childhood intervention and family support are defined as the provision and mobilization of children's learning opportunities, parenting supports, and family and community resources in a family-centered manner. The intersecting and overlapping elements of the model include the contexts for children's learning opportunities (activity settings), the methods and procedures for promoting child competence (development-enhancing parenting styles and practices), and the experiences afforded parents strengthening existing and promoting new parenting competence (participatory opportunities). Additional information about the integrated framework can be found in our CASEinPoint (Volume 1, Number 1) and CASEmakers (Volume 1, Number 1) publications.
