Program or Strategy Description

The 12 sessions of Family Check-Up - Toddler are divided into four units. The first unit focuses on parental attention, including child-centered time, family routines and traditions, use of praise and encouragement, and use of rewards for challenging behavior. The second unit focuses on use of parental authority, including limit-setting, follow through, and use of specific strategies, such as ignoring, distraction, and time-out. The third unit focuses on parents managing their own stress responses, including stress-reduction techniques and problem solving. The final unit focuses on synthesizing learning and providing a booster session to reinforce learning. Training includes video clips of parents interacting with their children, weekly group discussion, home practice assignments, and handouts.
