Description

Abstract:: Non-optimal parenting is defined in the literature as a form of neglectful and/or abusive parenting that can have detrimental effects on child development. These include psychological (failure to receive responsive care and have social-emotional needs met) and educational neglect (inadequate opportunities provided to learn basic language and cognitive skills). Children born to adolescent mothers have among the highest rates of suspected and confirmed early neglect. The PREP (Parental Readiness and Emotional Preparedness) survey is a 3-point screening tool validated to assess for risk of non-optimal parenting in teens1. In Rhode Island, parenting programs for teens, including home visiting services, are a great resource but often compete with school, work and other responsibilities. This hinders adolescent participation in these programs and thus the benefits they confer. In an attempt to address the need for more targeted parenting education within adolescents' schedules, a six-week curriculum on child development and parenting was created with the goal of test whether this educational intervention can lower pregnant adolescent's risk for non-optimal parenting as per the PREP screening tool.
