Growing: Birth to Three helps you to consider the complex relationships that impact early intervention. The materials include techniques to support mutually positive parent-child interactions and strategies to enhance parent-interventionist interactions.  Now revised and with the addition of the spanish Development Guide, Master Forms and Nurturing Journals, the formats provide assistance to parents and interventionists in observing, understanding, and supporting each child’s growth and development, as well as practical strategies for addressing the child and family priorities within play, daily routines, and family rituals.

Focus is on Parent-Child Interactions

Growing: Birth to Three supports a process which begins with the parent rather than the child and views the parent-child relationship within the family as the primary way to support and promote child growth and development. This  relationship based intervention process focuses on the strengths and capacities of families. It can help you to identify and promote the families' goals and support the interactive strengths within the parent child relationship.

Family guided intervention

Growing: Birth to Three represents a collection of materials to support family guided, relationship based intervention. It is designed to be used as a set, as each piece contributes in a unique way to the intervention process. The materials encourage flexibility and creativity in working with families.
