The problem
Intervention: Shared play and reading between parents/family and young children
Who it was tested with: Mothers and babies born July-August 2020, measured at age 2, from IRACEMA-Covid cohort.
The same group is measured before the intervention and again afterwards, with a baseline and an endline and sometimes a midline. Change is visible, but other causes cannot be ruled out.
"Family/parental interaction, as represented by playing/reading together, was associated with better development not only in language (0.81), as measured by CREDI, but also in cognition (0.62), motor (0.69), socio-emotional (0.80), and overall (0.75) domains." The study examined associations between a specific family practice and multiple child development outcomes using a validated measurement tool.
Self-reported parental interaction data and caregiver-reported child development outcomes; cross-sectional design cannot establish causation; data from pandemic period may not reflect typical family practices
