Building a comprehensive support system for young children's development focusing on their parents' Help-Seeking behaviors

本研究通过对婴幼儿后期母亲的实证研究，探讨母亲在子女发展问题上的求助影响因素。研究表明，母亲对儿童健康状况的认识、独立解决问题的倾向、求助倾向等是母亲对儿童健康状况的激励因素。因此，报告建议需要在地方一级建立一个儿童发展支助系统，这将有助于母亲了解其子女的发展情况，并影响寻求帮助的适当方式。

The purpose of this study was to identify affecting factors for mothers' Help-Seeking with regard to developmental probrems of their children.We examines the affecting factors for mothers' help-seeking by conducting empirical research on the mothers of children in late infancy. The study shows that the encouraging factors are mothers' awareness for children's health conditions, their inclination to solve problems independently, their help-seeking preferences and so on. It therefore suggests the needs for building a child development support system at local level which will help mothers to comprehend the development of their children and affect what help-seeking is appropriate.
