Abstract:
Parenting practices, such as reading aloud, teaching, and playing, make an important contribution to early relational health and are associated with long-term child development and school readiness. This study investigated whether participation in an evidence-based parent-child interaction programme (PlayReadVIP) adapted to Brazil for virtual delivery was associated with changes in cognitive stimulation. Employing a single-group pre- and post-intervention design, the study enrolled 15 mother-child dyads with children aged 5-56 months. Parents were interviewed before and after attending three sessions of PlayReadVIP to assess cognitive stimulation at home. Non-parametric within-group analyses indicated increased overall cognitive stimulation at home (Z = 3.10, p < .05), particularly in the context of reading activities (Z = 2.40, p < .05), parental involvement in children's development (Z = 2.62, p < .05), and parental responsivity (Z = 3.14, p < .05) after participation in three PlayReadVIP sessions. Findings suggest that the virtual, Brazilian adaptation of PlayReadVIP may benefit Brazilian families, even with a limited number of sessions.

For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
