Feeding a young infant or child is usually easy for parents, until it isn’t. Parents of premature and medically fragile infants often find feeding challenging which can impact their confidence and the parent-child relationship. Building on the strengths of the feeding relationship however, provides opportunities to not only support feeding but also other areas of the relationship so important for development including communication, motor skills, and social emotional development.
The Feeding and Teaching Parent-Child Interaction Scales are valid and reliable assessments of observable behaviors that describe caregiver/parent child interaction in either a feeding or a teaching situation. The Scales are based on an extensive body of research across disciplines. They can be used to build on parent strengths and guide interventions that support positive parent-child relationships. They also provide excellent pre and post measures to document intervention effects for clinicians as well as researchers. The Feeding Scale allows you to observe an activity that occurs multiple times a day and the Teaching Scale provides the opportunity to observe parents and child in a new and unique situation.
Who should use the Parent-Child Interaction Scales?
Occupational Therapists and Speech Language Pathologist working with families of children with feeding issues. Psychologists, nurses and social workers who are working in families in the social services programs. Lactation consultants. Early intervention providers, public health nurses, researchers and mental health specialists.
