Summary

Supportive parenting is a strong predictor of positive outcomes for children, and harsh parenting is a risk factor for child development, especially for the child developing externalizing problems (overactive, oppositional, and aggressive behavior). Externalizing problems in preschoolers are predictive of a variety of problems in later childhood. Thus, parents are key targets for change in preventive programs with children at risk for developing externalizing problems. More than 95% of 2-6 year old Danish children spend an average of 7.5 hours, 5 days a week in a daycare setting, thus pedagogues are key frontline staff in the promotion of parental abilities and early childhood mental health. However, a recent Danish study shows that pedagogues experience a need for systematic skills and methods for intervening in families with a child at risk. Attachment-based programs enhancing parental sensitivity and parental sensitive discipline show promising results. This efficacy study examines the Video-feedback Intervention to Promote Positive Parenting and Sensitive Discipline (VIPP-SD)delivered by 22 VIPP-SD trained pedagogues at home-visits to 120 families with a child (1-6 years) identified to be at risk. Pedagogues are supervised by four VIPP municipality psychologists, thus promoting the cross-disciplinary collaboration. The results will point to future identification of families that may (and may not) profit from a pedagogue delivered VIPP-SD intervention, as well as to revise the intervention in order to maximizing its effect, i.e. point to changes to tailor intervention to the particular needs of different families in a Danish context.
