Summary

Children's social and emotional development is affected by their relationship with their parents. The goal of the study is to test an intervention that guides parents and children to strengthen their relational health and navigate difficult situations. This study will begin in the well-child visit in the pediatric department at MetroHealth Medical Center. Pediatricians will invite families to enroll in the study, then study personnel will administer two illustrated poem books called "Cuddle and Calm," a poetry book with tips on how to strengthen the parent-child relationship, or "Health and Safety," a poetry book with tips on how to avoid injuries. This intervention is based on the construct of emotional connection as studied by Martha G Welch MD, who developed the Welch Emotional Connection Screen (WECS) along with Amie Hane PhD. The WECS-Parent Report (WECS-PR) is a likert scale parent-report screen with items regarding the domains featured in the WECS.
