The goal of this study is to pilot test an intervention developed to enhance parent knowledge regarding child development and encourage parents to engage in activities that promote language acquisition.
Our specific aim for this proposal is to pilot test an intervention developed to enhance parent knowledge regarding child development and the home cognitive environment comprised of distribution of (1) publicly available developmental monitoring materials, (2) age and language appropriate children's books, and (3) text message reminders. Participants in this intervention will receive: (1) educational materials about child development and developmental monitoring checklists; (2) age and language appropriate picture books; and (3) two text messages per week for a 6-month period. Differences in pre- and post-intervention knowledge regarding child development and the home cognitive environment will be assessed.
