Toward the Next Generation of Early Childhood Development Parenting Interventions:Knowns, Unknowns, and What Should be Known

Abstract

There is significant awareness of the importance of parenting for the development and well-being of ‎young children; however, there is lesser knowledge about how to implement supportive efforts that ‎enable parents (and other key caregivers) to foster the development and well-being of children. Three ‎technical consultations were held in April 2019, June 2019 and July 2019 respectively, with the aim of ‎developing a prospectus or research agendum to inform the design, implementation, and uptake of the ‎next generation of ECD parenting programmes that will achieve these goals. ‎
