关爱是一种预防性的、以游戏为基础的亲子干预措施，旨在通过加强学龄前儿童与父母的联系来促进他们的社会情感发展。我们描述了拉丁美洲学龄前儿童和他们的父母的关爱学前教育计划的质量影响。111个拉丁裔家庭参加了一项更大规模的研究，研究“关爱”学前教育计划的有效性。在这些家庭中，有40个参与了这项定性研究。在完成干预后，我们邀请家庭参加一个焦点小组。我们使用了基于扎根理论的归纳方法来确定主题类别。家长们报告说，由于他们参加了“关爱”方案，他们自己、他们的子女以及他们与子女的关系质量都发生了重大变化。家长们还报告说，他们对子女的需要有了更多的了解，他们有能力在家里使用干预期间学到的技能，并改善了亲子沟通。此外，父母报告说，他们的孩子的社会技能和自我调节能力得到了提高。这些研究结果强调了为面临社会经济和心理社会困境的家庭提供预防性、低成本干预措施的前景，以及这些措施在加强亲子关系方面的潜在作用。结果突出了文化养育的做法和干预拉丁美洲家庭的影响。
CARING is a preventive, play-based, parent-child intervention designed to promote preschoolers' social-emotional development by strengthening their bonds with their parents. We describe the qualitative impact of the CARING Preschool program on Latino preschool children and their parents. One hundred and eleven Latino families participated in a larger study of the efficacy of the CARING preschool program. Of these families, 40 participated in this qualitative study. We invited families to participate in a focus group after completing the intervention. We used an inductive approach based on grounded theory to identify thematic categories. Parents reported substantial changes in themselves, their children and the quality of their relationships with their children as a result of their participation in CARING. Parents also reported an increased understanding of their children's needs, their ability to use at home the skills learned during the intervention, and improved parent-child communication. In addition, parents reported the social skills and self-regulation abilities of their children improved. These findings highlight the promise of preventive, low-cost interventions for families facing socioeconomic and psychosocial adversity, and their potential role in strengthening parent-child relationships. Results highlight cultural parenting practices and implications for intervention with Latino families.
