Video delivered at one month of child's life

Video delivered at seven months of child's life

The video was developed by a multidisciplinary team (psychologists, paediatricians, filmmaker). It was conceived as an aid to parenting in the first year of life, providing opportunities for parents to look at their own experiences. The video lasts 24 minutes and describes "the birth of a new relationship" between primary caregivers and their babies, in chronological order, starting from late pregnancy to the end of the first year. Caregiver-child interactions are shown from early contact after delivery to common care practices, with an emphasis on four specific activities, which are believed to improve child development and caregiver-child interaction: reading aloud to the baby, exposure to songs, rhymes and music, promotion of early socialization for parents and for children.

Closed-ended questions about the four specific activities examined (reading aloud, exposure to music, caregiver and child early socialization) collected through a researcher-administered structured questionnaire
