Use Activities as Parenting Education Tools
Modify Activities 2 and 3 (What Am I Supposed to Do With This Child? and Play a Day in My Shoes), so they can be used as parenting education tools for home visiting. Allow for home visitors to meet and share challenges and successes in using these tools. In this way, they can continue to modify the tools, so they best meet the needs of parents and home visitors.
Learn More About a Child's Temperament
Pick a child from your program about whom you would like to learn more. Go over the Background Information section regarding temperament with that child's primary family caregiver. Interview the parent about that child in early infancy to develop a clearer sense of her temperament. Discuss with the parent what temperamental characteristics you both see in your observations of the child.
