This study investigated the short-term effects of teaching parenting skills to adolescent mothers participating in a specialized school curriculum. It tested the hypothesis that students who are involved in a specialized curriculum will have more positive interactions with their child during feeding and periods of teaching, and will provide a more positive home environment for their child's development. Findings indicated that mothers involved in the specialized curriculum interacted more effectively during time spent teaching their infant than did mothers involved in the traditional school curriculum. The parenting curriculum also influenced teenage mothers to talk with their child during interactions at home, to structure play periods, and to more consciously encourage child development.
本研究调查了向参与专门学校课程的青少年母亲传授育儿技能的短期效果。它检验了这样一个假设，即参与专门课程的学生会在喂食和教学期间与孩子有更积极的互动，并会为孩子的发展提供更积极的家庭环境。研究结果表明，参与专门课程的母亲在教婴儿时的互动比参与传统学校课程的母亲更有效。育儿课程还影响了青少年母亲在家中互动时与孩子交谈、安排玩耍时间，并更有意识地鼓励孩子发展。
