Healthy Homes

The Healthy Homes Behavioral Intervention (HHBI) will be delivered during 8 sessions over 10 weeks using home visitations. The first 6 sessions occur weekly and provide education about healthy dietary intake including caloric recommendations for preschool aged children, healthy sleep goals, active play and screen time limits, and family routines and organization. Each session will include a parent-child interaction component to teach child behavior management skills related to intervention goals. Two final sessions occur every other week to provide problem solving and planning for maintenance of treatment effects.
