Area of Science:

  • Child Development
  • Adolescent Health
  • Educational Psychology

Background:

  • Adolescent pregnancy poses risks to maternal educational attainment and child language development.
  • Supportive interventions can mitigate these risks.
  • Adolescent mothers benefit from coaching in language facilitation strategies (LFS).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess a triadic language intervention within a facilitated playgroup for adolescent mothers and their children.
  • To analyze changes in maternal language use, parenting behaviors, and child language development.

Main Methods:

  • Pilot study using a pre-test, post-test descriptive design.
  • Intervention delivered in a facilitated playgroup setting.
  • Focus on triadic interactions (mother-child-facilitator).

Main Results:

  • All adolescent mothers showed improved parenting practices post-intervention.
  • Maternal and child language use changes varied among participants.
  • The intervention demonstrated promising utility in a playgroup context.

Conclusions:

  • Facilitated playgroups can support adolescent mothers in enhancing parenting and language strategies.
  • Further research is needed to address study limitations and confirm findings.
  • The triadic intervention shows potential for improving early language environments for children of adolescent mothers.
